Devot. O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

 Hello Folks,

I hope you are having a good week!!  Below are a few thoughts and a poignant song.

I found a quote this week that stated,  "I have given Christ countless ways not to love me. None of them changed His mind." (Peter Washer)

Romans 5:6 and 8 states, "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. But God commendeth (demonstrated) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  

Christ CHOOSE to die a horrible, hideous death -for YOU AND ME.  In spite of the fact that He knew we would daily hurt Him through our sin, pride and self will, He still CHOOSE to go to Calvary, die an extremely painful death and God's means of paying for each human beings ticket to Heaven, even those who would hate and reject Him and His free gift of salvation-then and now.   You have to love someone an awful lot to do that for them....

A familiar passage is John 3:16-17, "For God so loved ('so loved'-so much so that it's immense) the world, (the entire human race, past, present and future) that he gave his only begotten Son (one and only Son), that whosoever (anyone!) believeth in him should not perish, (die and spend an eternity in hell a part from the Lord Jesus) but have everlasting life. (Life forever in Heaven with Jesus!) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. "

I hope the devot. and song below will give you a more thought provoking insight into God's love for you....Have a blessed weekend!
