 A PLACE OF LOVE

"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."

Luke 23:33, 34
King James Version

Michael Joncas wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour "No Greater Love". There really is no greater love than the unconditional love Jesus gave us when He died on the cross for our sins.

Yes, Calvary was a place of love, unconditional love for you and for me. No one but Jesus loves us this much. No one but Jesus would walk that long lonely road to Calvary and allow them to crucify Him for your sins and for my sins.

How the tears ran down our Heavenly Father's face when His Son was crucified. God couldn't look at Jesus when He was hanging on the cross because He had taken your sins and my sins on Him and God can not look on sin.

No one loves us like Jesus and no one ever will. His love for us is unconditional and unending. He loved us yesterday. He loves us today and He will love us forever. I love You, Jesus. Thank You for dying on the cross for me and for giving me a new heart.
