WHAT ARE WE TELLING HIM?
“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.” “But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”
Luke 23: 33 John 19: 33, 34 (King James Version)
Gordon Jenson wrote a beautiful and inspiring song that touches the depths of my heart every time I hear it and brings tears of gratitude to my eyes “Written in Red”. These beautiful and inspiring words that he penned came from the bottom of his heart and they proclaim the compassion and the unconditional love of our Saviour.
“In letters of crimson God wrote his love, On a hillside so long, long ago, For you and for me Jesus died, And love’s greatest story was told. I love you, I love you, That’s what Calvary said, I love you, I love you, written in red.” Yes, our precious Saviour wrote His great love for us with His own blood as He hung there on the cross and died for our sins.
What amazing love and compassion flowed from the heart of Jesus for us that day as He hung there on that cross bleeding and in excruciating pain. No one loves you like He loves you. He told us He loves us with His own blood. What are we telling Him with our actions and with our words?
Does Jesus know that we love Him by the way we live and the things we say? What are we telling Him by our actions and our words? One day every one of us will stand before a Holy God and give an account of the way we treated Jesus. May God have mercy on us and forgive us if we are hurting His beloved Son.
