Uncomfortably, the Word says we LOVE the DARKNESS. How much? A little? Or enough to cost a really valuable thing? In a sense, our death-grip on our affection for the regular old way I am costs in return THE TRINITY. The Trinity is beyond value, you have to give me that. Our death-grip on our evil ways then is exchanged for this: The Father giving His Son. Your commitment to evil costs a divine family member. Which of your own children would you give to keep your stubborn way of life; of acting; of thinking?
He gives us children and grandchildren with indescribable love for a reason: that we might understand the crazy love that the Father has for Jesus. That is one of the reasons why He used the family language.
Hey, we have selected ourselves to the bad group already by our holding on to this. Don't you think it might be time enough to change? Our stubbornness has wounded the trinity. It 'broke' the Trinity. It made the Father GIVE THE SON to get you out of this mess. You broke the Trinity. Listen.
