Matthew 7:9 Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
When others ask us for special gifts, especially our children, we do tend to go out of our way to try and give them what they want. Why? Because we love them!
If we are willing to go that extra mile to get a gift, even if it means a bit of hardship for us for a few days or even months, we do so.
God knew how hard it was going to be to give us the gift of eternal life. He was willing to go the extra mile and give us everything and it cost the life of His Son.
