HE DIED ALONE

“Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?”

Matthew 26:53 KJV

Have you ever felt all alone?  Jesus understands how it feels to be all alone because when He was hanging on the cross with His precious blood flowing down His body He was all alone.  The most amazing thing to me is that He could have come down from that cross but He didn’t come down.

Rev. Overholt wrote one of my favorite hymns “Ten Thousand Angels”.  The words in this hymn describe the unconditional love of our Saviour for us.  “He could have called ten thousand angels to destroy the world and set Him free.  He could have called ten thousand angels, But He died alone for you and me.”

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus loves you so much that He not only died for you, He died alone.  He really was alone.  Jesus had taken our sins on Him and God can’t look on sin so God had to turn away from His own Son.  How that must have broken His heart.

Heavenly Father, You are a tender compassionate and loving Father.  We love You and appreciate all You have done for us and for giving Your Son to die for our sins.  I love You so much, dear Jesus and I long for the day when I will see You face to face.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
