THE CROSS OF LOVE
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:17 (King James Version)
Unconditional love flowed from the heart of Jesus for us when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for our sins. God loves us and He did not send Jesus to condemn us. He sent Jesus to pay the debt for our sins on the cross, a debt that you and I could never have paid.
Pastor Wendell P. Loveless wrote one of my favorite hymns “All Because of Calvary”. Yes, it is because of Calvary, the cross of love, that we can be saved and have the privilege of going to Heaven and living with Jesus for eternity. What a joy it is going to be to spend eternity with Jesus.
Many times satan tells us that we are no good and that we don’t have a right to be happy. Don’t let satan lie to you and tell you that you are no good or that you are worthless. You are very precious to God and to Jesus. They love you unconditionally just as you are and they really care about you.
There is nothing you can do to make them love you more than they do right now. We can’t buy their love or be good enough to deserve their love. Their love is a caring, forgiving, tender and compassionate love. Thank You, precious Saviour for dying for our sins on the cross of love.
Heavenly Father, I pray that everyone in the world who has never invited Jesus into his or her heart will come to the cross of love and be saved. Please give Jesus a hug for me and tell Him how much I love Him. I love You, dear Father. Thank You for being a good Father to me and for loving me unconditionally. Amen.
