HE DIED FOR YOU

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;”

Matthew 27:50,51 KJV

Pastor Noah B. Herrell wrote a beautiful hymn about our Saviour “The Unveiled Christ”.  “O behold the Man of Sorrows, O behold Him in plain view; Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two. Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two.”  He died for you and He died for me.

Jesus, the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, curse Him, mock Him, pluck His beard and pound the nails into His hands so that you can be saved and live in Heaven with Him for all eternity.  What a Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth!

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves you?  There is nothing you could ever do that would make Him stop loving you.  Not only does He love us unconditionally, He also intercedes for us with His Father when we sin.  

We read in the Bible.  “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).  Jesus gave His life for us so that we might live forever.  What are we doing for Him to show Him how much we appreciate Him?
