IT REALLY HAPPENED

“And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.”

Mark 15:25 KJV

We read about Jesus being crucified and sing about it and talk about it so many times, I think we sometimes forget that it really happened.  Jesus really was spat on, cursed, mocked and beaten beyond recognition for you and for me.  They really did nail Him to that cross of horror and He died for our sins.

What kind of love is this that Jesus would willingly leave His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth to die for our sins?  It is an amazing and an unconditional love for you and for me.  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that you are loved by the Saviour of the world?

I have said this many times.  No one loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will.  Not only did Jesus die on the cross for you and suffer an agonizing death, He never leaves you, not even for a minute.  Jesus is with you when you are happy and He is also with you when you are sad.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Jesus to die for our sins.  Jesus, we love You so much and appreciate all You have done for us and all You do for us every day.  How I long to see You face to face, precious Saviour.  I am going to give You a big hug.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
