I STILL LOVE YOU

"The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."

Jeremiah 31:3
King James Version

There are times when all of us, including me, hurt Jesus and fail Him but He still loves us. Do you realize what a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world?

Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for your sins and for my sins.

I think all of us, if we're honest with ourselves would have to admit that we would not willingly send our son to war knowing in advance that he was going to be killed.

I still remember the look on my Mother's face the day my brother went into service. She stood there watching him go for a long time after he was out of sight.

I believe when Jesus left Heaven to come to earth to die on the cross for us, to pay the price for something we had done, that God and Jesus hugged for a long time and there were tears in both of Their eyes.

When Jesus was hanging on the cross, God had to turn away from His Son because God is a Holy God and He can't look on sin and Jesus had taken our sins on Him.

If you ever doubt that Jesus loves you, remember the cross. What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth! Please join me in praising our precious Saviour.
