PRECIOUS LOVING SAVIOUR

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

John 10:10
King James Version

If you're lonely and discouraged today and brokenhearted and feel like going to bed and staying there because of the crisis or heartache that you are going through, tell Jesus.

Our tender compassionate loving Saviour understands how we feel. Jesus had been ridiculed, scorned, spat on, beaten beyond recognition and left alone to die on the cross so when we are hurting and feel like going to bed and staying there, He knows how we feel and He understands.

Avis B. Christiansen wrote a hymn about the excruciating pain and suffering that our loving and compassionate Saviour endured for you and for me on the cross The name of this beautiful hymn is "Blessed Redeemer".  

"Up Calv'ry's mountain one dreadful morn Walked Christ, my Savior, weary and worn; Facing for sinners death on the cross, That He might save them from endless loss.

Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer! Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree; Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading— Blind and unheeding— dying for me!"

If you are reading this devotion, know that Jesus loves you so much He left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for you.

If I were physically able to do so, I would get on my knees in praise and adoration of the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS". I love you, dear Jesus and I long for the day when I will have the privilege of seeing you face to face.
