INDESCRIBABLE LOVE

“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

Pastor Isaac Watts wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”.  What love flowed from the heart of Jesus for you and for me as He hung on the cross, bleeding and dying for us.  Not only is it an amazing and unconditional love, it is also an indescribable love.

The words in this hymn bring tears of love and gratitude for Jesus to my eyes to know that He loves us so much.  “See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down!  Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?”  What an amazing matchless love!

If we would allow it to go from our head knowledge to our heart knowledge that Jesus, the Saviour of the world, loves us, we would have a happier life.  Jesus told us that He came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10).  O how Jesus loves you.  There is nothing you could ever do that would make Him stop loving you.

Not only does God love us so much He gave His Son to die for us. Jesus loves us so much He willing left His Father, His home and all that He had to die on the cross for our sins.  One joyous day, Jesus is coming back for us and we will see Him face to face.  O how I long for that day.  I love Jesus with all my heart.
