LOVE IN
ACTION
“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 (King James
Version)
When Jesus died on
the cross, it was love in action. God
gave His Son to die for us and Jesus came to earth to die for us. Many times we tell people that we love them
but we never do anything to prove that we love them. O we may do something nice for them once or
twice but God proves His love every day.
Dottie Rambo wrote
the beautiful and heart touching song “If That Isn’t Love”. “He left the splendour of heaven knowing His
destiny Was the lonely hill of Golgotha There to lay down His life for me.” What unconditional love flowed from the heart
of Jesus for you and for me when He left His Father and His
home.
Jesus knew that He
was going to be cursed, mocked, ridiculed and beaten beyond recognition yet He
willingly came to earth to die on the cross for us. Just as God does not pull our strings and
make us do anything so He didn’t make Jesus come to earth. Jesus chose to come and die for us on the
cross.
No one loves us
like Jesus loves us! What a Saviour,
this Jesus of Nazareth!
John W. Peterson wrote a beautiful cantata about Jesus “No Greater
Love”. Yes, there is no greater love
than the love of Jesus. What a privilege
to be loved by the Saviour of the world.
Jesus, thank You for loving us.
Heavenly Father,
thank You for giving Your Son to die for us.
Jesus, thank You for coming to earth to die on the cross for us. Thank You for putting Your love in
action. I love You, Heavenly
Father. I love You, Jesus. I love You, Holy Spirit. Amen.
