THE LOVE OF OUR SAVIOUR

"For there is one God, and one med iator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."

1 Timothy 2:5, 6
King James Version

Rev. Isaac Watts wrote the hymn "ALAS! AND DID MY SAVIOR BLEED? At the Cross". What an amazing unconditional love Jesus has for you and for me.

"Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man the creature’s sin."

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. No one ever loved us like Jesus loves us and nobody ever will. What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world.

We know Jesus loves us because He proved the unconditional love He has for us when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross. Do we love Jesus and if we do, what are we doing for Him to prove to Him that we love Him?
