JESUS CARES

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

1 Peter 5:7

King James Version

Pastor Elisha A. Hoffman wrote “I Must Tell Jesus”.  I’m so glad the words in this beautiful hymn are true.  “I must tell Jesus all of my trials; I cannot bear these burdens alone; In my distress He kindly will help me; He ever loves and cares for His own.”

Yes, Jesus cares when satan attacks us with lies and we get discouraged and feel like giving up and going to bed and staying there. Jesus knows how it feels to be lonely, brokenhearted and discouraged.  When He was here on earth, people made fun of Him and rejected Him and then they crucified Him on the cross because of our sins.

Jesus died the most painful death that anyone has ever suffered or ever will suffer.  Our loving Saviour walked that long lonely road to Calvary and was rejected, beaten beyond recognition, mocked, spat on and He died alone for you and for me.  God had to turn away from Jesus because Jesus had taken our sins on Him and God is a Holy God and He can’t look on sin.  Yes, Jesus endured all that agony and pain and died alone for you and for me.

John W. Peterson wrote the beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour, “No Greater Love”.  Indeed there is no greater love than the love that Jesus has for you and for me and one happy day He is coming back for us.  How I long for that day!  If you have never invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you to do it now before it is too late.  One day it will be too late to invite Him into your heart.  Don’t miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
