AMAZING LOVE

“In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.”

Isaiah 63:9 KJV

Pastor Isaac Watts wrote a beautiful hymn about our Redeemer “Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair”.  These words describe how much Jesus loves us.  “With pitying eyes the Prince of grace Beheld our helpless grief; He saw, and, O amazing love! He ran to our relief.”  What an amazing love Jesus has for you and me.

One day Jesus will get the honor and praise He so richly deserves.  “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10,11).

If ever someone deserves to be praised and adored, it is Jesus.  He is the “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”.  Would you join me in praising the One Who loves us so much He died for us.  It brings tears of happiness to my eyes to know that every knee will bow to our precious Redeemer.
