An Incredible Story
I often struggle with cynicism in my life. I'm not sure why it is such a temptation for me, but it is and I wish it weren't. The true pain of cynicism is to discredit sincerity and sometimes love. When these are discredited, I sometimes feel an emotional disconnect in my faith; if you discredit sincerity and love, how can you truly appreciate the sacrifice of God's only Son?
I'm sitting in a hotel room in Kansas City an emotional wreck having just read this story. I am blown away by the love given to be shared among mere mortals. It speaks of God. I have heard people speak of love languages before, especially during marriage counseling. Tonight I feel that love is holy language. It is the only response worthy of utterance; the height of expression is simply love.
To read this story and hear of the lives touched by the sacrifice of one, I am reminded of a savior taken unjustly and made to be donor for our sake; that one should be given so that all may live.
And I am silenced before an inconceivable God
Most worthy of praise
And He is One

Jeremy, what's up man. I found your blog on here, and loved the story that you linked to. How is life going for you? So your a college teacher now? Congrats, hope all is going well, it looks like it is.
I love your parallel of Jesus' sacrifice with the donor's. And here is where the parallel ends: Could you imagine one of these donor recepients passing up the offer? And yet this is our common response to God, who offers us an infinitely more valuable gift.
As these recipents strive to carry on their donor's legacy, we should remember to do the same. "We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." 2 Cor. 4:10
P.S. Not far beneath your cynicism lies one of the most believing and hopeful souls I've known. And I love the things (like this article) that bring it out in you.
Thanks for linking that. I had missed it.
Great example.
