OUR REDEEMING SAVIOUR

“And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Haggai 2:7 KJV

Charles Wesley wrote “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus”.   “Come, Thou long expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free; From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in Thee. Israel’s Strength and Consolation, Hope of all the earth Thou art; Dear Desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart.”

How thankful I am that one day God opened His heart of compassion to us and gave His beloved Son to die on the cross to free us from sin.  We have a tender loving compassionate Heavenly Father Who loves us unconditionally and will always love us no matter how many times we hurt Him.

How do we hurt God?  We hurt Him when we aren’t kind and loving to Jesus.  I believe it breaks His heart to see people rejecting His Son.  For some people, Jesus has been knocking at the door of their heart for many years but they have refused to let Him into their heart.  We need to stop hurting God.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for hurting You and breaking Your heart by rejecting Your Son and by the way we treat Him.  Please melt hardened hearts so they will open the door of their heart and invite Jesus in to be their personal Saviour.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
