Parallels



Why do we care about adopting?  It is because WE are the “unadoptable ones.”  God, out of his goodness and love for us, brought us near to Himself and adopted us as his children.  “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

This video is an excellent look at several different aspects of adoption.  We would encourage you to watch the whole thing (leave yourself about 35 minutes), but if you only have a few minutes to spare, start from 23:04 and watch the last ten minutes.  That last portion articulates the parallels between adopting a child and God’s adoption of us better that anything we’ve come across yet. 

Fun fact:  The guy on stage is Jeannine’s best-friend-from-childhood’s big brother.  Very cool to grow up and have him impact us through his story all these years later!)
