BORN TO DIE

“And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”
Luke 23:33 KJV

We just celebrated the birthday of Jesus.  What a precious Baby He was but He didn’t stay a Baby.  He grew up and went to the cross and shed His own blood for our sins so we can be saved.  Jesus was born to die and pay the penalty for our sins.  O how our precious Saviour loves us.

How can you and I do less than serve Him with all our heart and all our time after all He has done for us?  I write about how much He loves us but I don’t think any of us, including me have grasped in our heart just how much He loves us.  His love for us comes from His heart and is unconditional and unending.

Our precious Saviour was born to die but we were born to serve Him.  Evangelist Bud Chambers wrote the inspiring hymn “Born To Serve The Lord”.  We can never repay the sacrifice that Jesus has made for us but we can serve Him and give Him first place in our heart, in our time and in our life.  Is He first in your heart?
