His love for us

I don't know if you mind me putting videos. I know I am very visual and this is a video that I can't help show you. You might of already seen it.
It's a man who's dream is to do a triathlon. The only problem is that he is severely handicaped where he must be in constant care. He lives with his family; a dad who loves him very much, so much that he trained to be able to do a triathlon in his son's stead. His son gets all the credit for the race, his father does all the work because of his love for him.
The video is to compare the love of a father for his son to the love of our Father in heaven for us.
I want to cry at the thought of that comparison. Think about it. Jesus Christ was beaten, tortured just so that we can enjoy the peace, love and presence of God in heaven. A free gift because of His love for us.
We don't have to do a thing, He's done it all already. He did all the work, He ran the course, He suffered the pain, He paid the price. We just have to accept the payment. The Father knew what was the price but He still did the sacrifice. Why?
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Get yourself some tissues, because when you see what this man did for his son, you will be touched by what God did for us. Think of the cross.
