22. He Didn't Want To Be Alone

John 12:24


God is a God of community. This is a deep mystery and I have never met one person who really understands it, but God, the One and only exists in Three Persons. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are God. They are not three parts of God and they are not three gods. They are God, the One and only. Now, I can’t explain that, but it is true and it leads us to understand some excessively cool things about God. For instance, God has, and always has had community and relationship because He is Three in One. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit have been loving each other for eternity before there was ever a sky or sea. They’ve always known what relationship and community are and they’ve always had each other. So why would Jesus say that He was laying down His life in order to prevent being alone? If He had decided not to die and pay for sins, He wouldn’t have had any of us, but the Father Son and Holy Spirit would have had each other, so He wouldn’t really have been alone, right? I love Jesus because heaven without you and me would have felt like being alone to Him. That’s how much He loves us.
