Jesus Loves Us
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
Have you ever really thought just how much Jesus must have loved us, to have suffered so much just to save us from our sins and give us an eternal life? I know that all of us would give our lives for our wife and children, but when it would come down to giving our lives for someone we never met, and suffering the way Jesus did on the cross many would probably hesitate. Have you ever thought how we show our love for our families today, and how Jesus would show His love? Jesus loves us so much that I can just imagine that our pictures are probably pasted on His refrigerator along with all our accomplishments. I can see His wallet completed stuffed with pictures of us, and Him constantly showing these to everyone He would meet and bragging about us. Every spring He sends us bouquets of flowers and the rain to make them grow. In the autumn He shows us the beauty of His creations as magnificent colors surround us everywhere we look. Every morning He sends us the sunrise to announce the beginning of a new day, and every afternoon gives us the beautiful colors of the sunset to signal there is peace in the land. He sends us beautiful rainbows to let us know the storms are over. Whenever we want to talk to Him, even late at night, He is always there to listen to us, no matter what time we call. We can tell Him all about our troubles, and He will listen, and patiently reassure us and give us peace and hope. Jesus could have chosen to live anywhere in the universe, but instead He chose to live in our heart. God sent us a Christmas gift at Bethlehem, but the greatest gift was the sacrifice that Jesus made that Friday at Calvary’s cross.
