Jesus Went The Extra Mile For Us First

Main message: Jesus pursues and loves us first, forgiving us even when we don't deserve it, and instead of trying to earn that love we are invited to receive it.

Key points:

• Jesus loved us first and went the extra mile on our behalf.
• He pursued and forgave us even when we weren't "together" or deserving.
