JESUS PAID THE PRICE

“And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”

Luke 23:33 KJV

Jesus had never sinned yet He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary where they crucified Him and He paid the price for your sins and for my sins.  If you ever think nobody loves you, remember how much Jesus loves you when He allowed them to crucify Him for your sins.

Carrie E. Breck wrote one of my favorite hymns “Face to Face with Christ, My Savior”.  I love these words.  “Face to face—oh, blissful moment! Face to face—to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so.”  We are going to have the privilege of seeing Jesus face to face.

I love my family and I have many friends that I love and I enjoy the time we can spend together but they have to leave and go home.  Jesus never leaves us, not even for one minute.  When we can’t sleep, He sits beside our bed and comforts us as He says to us “I love you and will never leave you”.

What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world.  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves you?  He loves you so much He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, curse Him, reject Him and crucify Him on the cross.

Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for Jesus and for the price He paid for our sins on the cross.  Thank You for sharing Jesus with us.  Jesus, I love You so much and I long for the day when I will see You face to face.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
