FOCUS ON HIS HEART

“Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.”

John 19:16-18 (King James Version)

I have read and heard many sermons on the crucifixion of our precious Saviour. However, I have never read or heard an entire sermon about the anguish in His heart while He was hanging on that cruel cross for you and for me.


I want to focus on His heart in this devotion. Look with the eyes of your hearts at the heart of Jesus while He was hanging on that cross. He had been beaten beyond recognition. His heart must have shattered into a million pieces.


I believe that every time they pounded a nail into His hand, He felt the nail being pounded into His heart. If He had wanted to, He could have come down from the cross. Why would He stay on that cross when He could have come down?


The reason is because not only does He give unconditional love; our precious Saviour is unconditional love. He loves us so much that He was willing to stay on the cross and suffer all that excruciating pain for you and for me. What a loving Saviour!


Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that one day You opened Your heart of grace, mercy, compassion and love to us and sent Your beloved Son into the world to die for us so we may be saved. Father, You are so wonderful. I love You. Amen.
