WHAT AN AMAZING LOVE

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Romans 5:8
King James Version

Frank Allaben wrote the beautiful hymn "JESUS, MY SAVIOR, DIED". What an amazing unconditional love Jesus gave us when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for our sins.

"Jesus, my Savior, died, nailed to the tree— Cruelly crucified, stricken for me! Darkness there shut Him in! God judged Him for my sin! Jesus, my soul to win, died there for me!
Jesus, my Savior, rose out of the grave! Captive He led my foes, my soul to save! Jesus in Heaven now, glory upon His brow, Calleth to men below, sinners to save!

Jesus, my Savior, lives for me above; Mercy and grace He gives freely in love; By my infirmity tenderly moved is He; Sweet is His sympathy, sweet is His love!

Jesus! beyond the sky, now on God’s throne, Looking with loving eye down on Thine own; Soon in that wondrous place Sweetly we’ll sing Thy grace, Gazing upon Thy face—all of Thine own!"

Do you realize what a privilege is ours to be loved by the Saviour of the world? Why does Jesus love us so much? It is because that is Who Jesus is, His heart is filled with unconditional love for you and me.

There is nothing we could ever do that would make Jesus stop loving us. I think one of the things that hurts Him so much is when we don't talk to Him every day. If we have time to do things and go places then we have time for Jesus.

Do you make time for Jesus every day? Is He first in your heart, in your time and in everything you do? One day every one of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His beloved Son. Will we be able to look Him in the eye or will we have to look away because we hurt His beloved Son?

How much do you love Jesus? Do you love Him? Have you told Him that you love Him? He has feelings too. If Jesus isn't first in our life, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.

Jesus, thank You for dying for me and paying the price for my sins, a price I could never have paid. One happy joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. What a day of rejoicing that is going to be and I will be with You for eternity.

I love You so much, dear Jesus. Thank You for everything You have done for me, especially for never leaving me.
