HE CARED ENOUGH

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 KJV

We have a loving compassionate and tender Saviour.  He cared enough to leave His home, His Father and all that He had to come to earth to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  All hail, King Jesus!  Worthy is the Lamb of God!

He cared enough to come to me many years ago when I was lying underneath a bed in a mental hospital afraid of everyone and everything with no desire to live.  He put His loving and compassionate arms around me and lifted me up from under that bed.  He told me that He loves me and will never leave me.

Do we care enough about Jesus to shut off the television, get out of our comfort zone and spread His unconditional love to everyone we see?  There are many people who are hurting and some even feel suicidal.  They desperately need to know that Jesus loves them.  Let’s spread His love to everyone.

Do you realize what a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world?  It is a privilege just to say His sweet Name.  Lela B. Long wrote the beautiful hymn “Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know”.  Not only is Jesus the sweetest Name I know, He is also my best Friend.  He has never left me, not even for a minute.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus.  Precious Saviour, thank You for caring, for dying for me on the cross and for loving me unconditionally.  I love You so much.  One day I will see You face to face.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
