OUR SAVIOUR

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

Matthew 1:21 KJV

What a privilege it is to not only know Jesus, our Saviour, but also to be loved by Him.  We have a compassionate tender loving Saviour Who loves us so much He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and there allowed them to crucify Him for your sins and for my sins.

I heard a preacher give a sermon about Jesus being crucified.  The preacher described in detail the physical suffering that Jesus endured but not one time did the preacher mention the emotional suffering that Jesus endured as He hung there on that cross of torture.  O how our Saviour loves us.

I believe with all of my heart that Jesus died of a broken heart.  He could have come down from the cross if He had wanted to come down because all the nails in the world couldn’t have kept Him on the cross had He chosen to come down.  Have you allowed it to enter your heart how much Jesus loves you?

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.  Jesus, I love You with all my heart.  Thank You for staying on the cross and dying for my sins.  Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who isn’t saved.  May today be the day they say yes to Jesus.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
