JESUS LOVES YOU

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.”

1 John 4: 10, 11 King James Version

I’m reading a book about writing and it says that writers should be able to describe in one sentence the message they are trying to convey to people. I am not a professional writer and have no desire to become one. God called me to be a missionary and to write the words that He tells me to write. Without Him, there would be no daily devotional because I have tried for years to sit down and start writing and nothing comes. If I had to describe in one sentence the message of every devotional, it would be “Jesus Loves you”.

Our families, loved ones and friends love us, but their love is nothing compared to the Love of Jesus for us. They could not have died on the cross for our salvation and to be honest, probably wouldn’t have even if they could. I don’t think anybody would willingly submit to torture, ridicule, sarcasm, and an agonizing death. Yet, because of the great Love of our Saviour for us He allowed Himself to be crucified on an old rugged cross. There is no one like Jesus. Nobody loves like Jesus. Nothing in this world satisfies like Jesus. He is a Friend beyond compare.

We never have to worry about what kind of mood He will be in from day to day. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” We can depend on Jesus because He will never leave us, criticize us, hurt us or turn His back on us. Jesus is the Saviour of the world and He Loves us with a Love that is impossible to describe.
