THE CROSS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV

Rev. Frederick Whitfield wrote a beautiful hymn “I Saw The Cross Of Jesus”.  “I saw the cross of Jesus, when burdened with my sin, I sought the cross of Jesus, to give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; and in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God.”

Have you ever wondered why Jesus loves us so much that He paid the penalty for our sins?  It is because not only does Jesus give us love; He is love, unconditional love.  If someone asks you about Jesus, tell the person that Jesus is love and that He loves him or her unconditionally.

It’s wonderful to know that our precious Saviour loves us and that He loves us unconditionally but do we love Him?  If we do love Him, what are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him?  One of the greatest ways to prove to Jesus that we love Him is to serve Him.  Are we serving Him?

Are we telling others about our precious Saviour and showing His picture?  Do others see Jesus in our smiles and hear His unconditional love for them in the kind and loving words we say to them?  It’s impossible for us to smile all of the time but we can be happy and smile because Jesus lives in us.

Heavenly Father, please encourage and comfort those who are hurting as You have encouraged and comforted me so many times.  I pray they will always feel Your peace, the peace that passes all understanding.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
