HE DIED FOR US

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

Isaiah 53:5

King James Version

Jesus had never sinned, had never done anything wrong, yet He willingly allowed them to crucify Him and He died for us.  What kind o l love is this?  It is an unconditional forgiving love that can only come from the heart of our Saviour.  O how Jesus loves you and me.

Kurt Kaiser wrote one of my favorite hymns “O HOW HE LOVES YOU AND ME”.  “Jesus to Calvary did go, His love for mankind to show; What He did there brought hope from despair: O how He loves you; O how He loves me; O how He loves you and me!”

Yes, Jesus loves us and He loves us unconditionally.  How much do we love Jesus and what are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him?  Jesus should have first place in our heart, in our time, and in everything we do. If we don’t have time for Jesus in our schedule, then we need to rearrange our schedule so that Jesus comes first.
