The Real Reason Jesus Died For You

I love Breakfast With God so much because it provides me with the great opportunity to share personal, life-changing moments with people all over the world. A few weeks ago, I was at a friend’s birthday get-together, but this was a different type of shindig. While all 20 or so of us guests (all ladies) were there to celebrate my amazing friend, she made her special day really about Someone else. The celebration was all intended to point the attention to God and his overwhelming love for us. I thought that was a fantastic idea. ‘Small chops’ (a sort of Nigerian take on canapés/starters), lots of banter and beautiful worship music later, my celebrant friend, calmly and unknowingly, said the most mind-blowing thing: I was walking home one evening, with the Lord – I know that sounds strange, but yes , it does happen – by my side, and the Holy Spirit revealed something amazing to me; that this – this closeness, this friendship, this intimacy – is why Jesus really died for us.
