Ain't No Reason

For this weeks blog I chose the song Ain't No Reason by Brett Dennan. This song might not be the most obvious choice for an image or something that portrays Jesus but when I heard it for the first time it just made everything clear in my head of why I am at Master's and why I wanna be in ministry.

This song is about the society we live in right now. It describes how broken our society is and saying that there is no reason why things are this way but it will never change. The only thing that can help is love. Because love will set you free.

I'm not sure if Mr. Dennan knew exactly what he was unto in saying those words. But I do know one thing, he is stating truth.

This song just brings to my head the image of the greatest act of love - Jesus dying on the cross for a fallen humanity.And that is the meaning of this song. We are a broken people but through Jesus we have been set-free and forgiven of our sins. We are no longer broken when we come to know him. We are made clean. we are made whole-again.

This song clearly tells me that there is an understanding of love. Maybe not a love from God. But that love is the key to be set-free. The bridge that needs to be built is an understanding of God's love for his children. That love from another human wont feel that emptiness, but that the love God has for us will fill the emptiness and set us free.
