YES IT WAS

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20 KJV

Rose Nicol Coull wrote the hymn “Was It for Me?”  The words in this hymn should make us fall on our knees and praise the One Who loves us so much He died for us.  “Was it for me, the nails, the spear, The cruel thorns, the mocking jeer, That rugged cross, ’twixt earth and sky—Was it for me He came to die?”

Yes, it was for us He came to die.  Think about it.  Jesus had never sinned yet He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, mock Him, curse Him and pound nails into His hands which I believe He felt in His heart.

If you ever doubt you are loved, remember the cross and the agony and torture Jesus endured for you.  No one loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will.  O how I love Jesus and one day I will have the privilege and joy of seeing Him face to face.  I am going to hug Him and tell Him how much I love Him.

If you have never invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you, I plead with you to admit you are a sinner, ask God to forgive you and invite Jesus into your heart before it is too late.  One day it will be too late to say yes to Jesus.  Don’t put it off.  Do it now!
