THREE WORDS
“Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a
place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with
him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the
cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH
John
19:16-19 KJV

Paschal wrote the beautiful hymn “Written in Red”. “In letters of crimson, God wrote His love on
the hillside so long, long ago; For you and for me Jesus died, And love’s
greatest story was told.” Yes, Jesus
told us in three words how much He loves us when He shed His own blood for our
sins on the cross.
What
an amazing unconditional love flowed from the heart of Jesus for you and me as
He hung on that cruel cross with blood flowing down His body. He had been cursed, mocked, ridiculed and
beaten beyond recognition and He endured the shame and all that excruciating
pain because He loves us so much.
Do
you understand yet how much Jesus loves you?
I have said this many times and I will say it until the day I die. No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no
one ever will. Our family and friends
love us but nobody loves us like our precious Saviour loves us and He proved
His love for us with His own blood.
The
next time you are discouraged and all of us get discouraged at times, remember
the cross and the blood that Jesus shed for you. Jesus got discouraged so He understands how
you feel. He will pick you up and carry
you until the pain goes away. What a
Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth
