THE HEART OF OUR SAVIOUR

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Isaiah 53:5
King James Version

If you ever doubt how much Jesus loves you, remember the cross and the pain and agony that Jesus endured on the cross when He died for us because He loves us.
I have said this countless times and I will keep saying it until Jesus calls me home to Heaven. Nobody loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will.

The question all of us need to answer is how much do I love Jesus and what am I doing to prove to Him how much I love Him? Dottie Rambo wrote the beautiful heart touching hymn "IF THAT ISN'T LOVE".

"He left the splendor of heaven Knowing His destiny Was the lonely hill of Golgotha There to lay down His life for me

If that isn't love The ocean is dry There's no star in the sky And the sparrow can't fly If that isn't love Then heaven's a myth There's no feeling like this If that isn't love."

We know how much Jesus loves us because He proved how much He loves us when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for us. He paid the price for us that we could never have paid.

What are we doing to prove to Him how much we love Him? Do we love Him? Does our family and friends know we love Jesus by the way we treat Him or are we hurting Jesus and breaking His heart by our words and by our actions?
