OUR GREAT SAVIOUR

"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Matthew 3:16, 17
King James Version

Every time I hear George Beverly Shea sing the beautiful and heart touching hymn "How Great Thou Art ", I get tears of happiness in my eyes to think that Jesus loves us so much He died on the cross for our sins. "And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin."

Pastor Thomas Dennis wrote a beautiful hymn about our Saviour "The Broken Heart". The words in this inspiring hymn are so true. "He died of a broken heart for you, He died of a broken heart; Oh, wondrous love! for you, for me, He died of a broken heart." If you are reading this devotion, Jesus died of a broken heart for you. This is how much He loves you.
