"It is His love that drives Him. Love is the chariot that brought Him from the highest heights of heaven into the filthy stall of a manger. And it is that same chariot that drove Him to the cross.
Don't forget, Jesus didn't want to do it, but it was His love that carried Him up Calvary's hill, and love was the nails that held Him to our only chance at redemption. It is that same love that beckons you closer, into the very intimate presence of the Lord. For it is for the promise of His Bride that He suffered so.
It is His love that stretches us and calls us ever higher into His presence. It is His love that can accept nothing less than a Bride without spot or wrinkle, and it is His love that removes our stains with His own precious blood.
And it is His love right now that asks you to walk this steep and narrow path. The road that leads to the most intimate presence of the Lamb is paved with repentant hearts, humility, and reverent obedience. The road is long and narrow and steep, but the chariot in which we ride is Love."
