THE LOVE OF OUR SAVIOUR

“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 KJV

Kurt Kaiser wrote a beautiful hymn about the love of our Saviour “O How He Loves You and Me”.  I love these words in this inspiring hymn.  “Jesus to Calv’ry did go, His love for sinners to show. What He did there brought hope from despair. O how He loves you; O how He loves me; O how He loves you and me!”

Our Saviour loves us even when we hurt Him.  How do we hurt Him?  We hurt Him when we don’t do what He has commanded us to do. Jesus said “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you” (John 15:12).  Can we honestly say that we love one another as He loves us?

Heavenly Father, we need Your help.  Please help us to love one another unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love one another.  I pray for all who are lonely, hurting and discouraged and those who are suicidal.  Please comfort and encourage them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
