EVERYTHING

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16
King James Version

Ethel Taylor wrote a beautiful hymn about our Saviour "Calvary Covers It All". This is one of my favorite hymns.

"Far dearer than all that the world can impart Was the message that came to my heart; How that Jesus alone for my sin did atone, And Calvary covers it all.

Calvary covers it all, My past with its sin and stain; My guilt and despair Jesus took on Him there, And Calvary covers it all."

Yes, when Jesus allowed them to crucify Him on the cross with the blood flowing down His body, our sin debt was paid in full. Jesus, Who had never sinned, never did anything wrong, not one time paid the sin debt that you and I could never have paid.

Rev. Frederick Whitfield wrote a hymn that describes how I love Jesus "O HOW I LOVE JESUS".

"There is a name I love to hear, I love to speak its worth; It sounds like music in mine ear, The sweetest name on earth.

O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, Because He first loved me!

It tells me of a Savior’s love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner’s perfect plea."

Cecil Frances Alexander wrote another one of my favorite hymns "There Is a Green Hill Far Away" Thank God for the unconditional love God gave us when He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for your sins and for my sins.

"There is a green hill far away, without a city wall, where the dear Lord was crucified, who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell, what pains he had to bear; but we believe it was for us he hung and suffered there.

There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin; he only could unlock the gate of heav'n, and let us in."

Has there ever been a time in your life when you asked God to forgive you and asked Jesus to come into your heart to be your Saviour? If not, please do it even as you read this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.

Heavenly Father, I pray for every man, for every woman and for every boy and girl who has not said yes to Jesus. Please let it go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves them and what He did for them. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
