What If the Cross Didn’t Change His Mind?

God came looking for Adam and Eve after they ate from the tree. He spoke with Cain after Abel’s death. These encounters reveal a Father who continued reaching toward people in the middle of their failure.

Drawing from these encounters and Paul’s words about reconciliation, this short reflection explores the cross as the expression of the Father’s love. In Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, revealing how far His love would go to bring us home and establish our security in Him.
