AND THE TEARS FELL

"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

Luke 2:7
King James Version

I've tried to think how Mary, the mother of Jesus must have felt when her beloved Son was beaten beyond recognition, spat on, and cursed when He hung on the cross with the blood flowing down His body and I can't begin to imagine how it broke her heart to see her Son bruised and bleeding.

If you are a mother, then you can understand just a little how Mary felt that day when her precious Son was crucified for something He didn't do. Jesus had never sinned, not even once yet He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary to die for your sins and for my sins.

I have said this countless times and I will keep saying it until God calls me home to Heaven. No one, not your spouse, not your parents, not your children nor anyone else loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.

What a privilege is ours to be loved by the Saviour of the world. I love You, dear Jesus and I am going to give You a big hug when I have the privilege of seeing You face to face one happy joyous day.

Carrie E. Breck wrote one of the most beautiful hymns I have ever heard about our precious Saviour "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MYSAVIOR".  I love the words in this heart touching hymn.
"Only faintly now I see Him, With the darkened veil between, But a blessèd day is coming, When His glory shall be seen. Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by!"

Are you ready to meet Jesus if He should come while you are reading this devotion? If not, I urge you to open the door of your heart and let Jesus come in. He loves you so much He died for you. Say yes to Jesus now before it is too late.

One day it will be too late to say yes to Jesus. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
