Go, again, and Love...

Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans. ”
(Hosea 3:1 NKJV)

JESUS LOVES US LIKE THIS

Let's put this scripture into context. Hosea, a prophet of God for Israel, married a woman who was a prostitute. God told him to marry her.
Hosea fell so in love with his wife. But, she looked for the money from Hosea. She wanted what she could get from him. She also committed adultery with another man against Hosea. He knew these things, but kept loving her, taking care of her, and treating her like a princess should be treated.
Hosea's wife left him to be with a rich man. Hosea was discouraged and prayed to God. Hosea wondered and cried and prayed asking God what to do. God told him exactly what to do. He told Hosea to love his wife even though she committed adultery against him and The Lord. Why? God was showing Hosea how He loves... How to love.

"Go...again...and LOVE a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery...."

The book of Isaiah is a picture of Jesus's love for the church(no, not the building or the religious folk... But the dedicated congregation,TOGETHER UNITED IN JESUS CHRIST).

We are so sinful. We turn away from Jesus all the time. ALL of us do. And no matter what we have done He never turns away. In fact He come to us again and again, showing us He loves us and wants us. He loves us just the way we are but won't leave us in the pain of sin if

we let Him take it away.

JESUS will never stop loving us. He wants us even though we cheat on Him with idols. Even though we use Him, spit on Him, crucify Him... He loves us all the same. PERFECT SELFLESS LOVE.
