Do you ever think about that?
Sure, we hear: Jesus was betrayed, He was condemned, He carried the cross, He was crucified, and He died. That's all extremely important, but it's just the what, the information about His Passion. A school History book could tell you that. But how many times do we really think about the why of it? Why did Jesus carry the cross? Why was He crucified?
Why did He die?
Because He loves you.
Doesn't that take your breath away, to think of a love so great that He would die so He could be with you for all eternity? God proves His love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) He died for us even though there was a chance that we might not choose Him. He suffered all that even though it might be in vain if no one would
choose to follow Him.
He did all of it out of love. Does it break your heart to think about how much He loves us? So many turn Him away, but all He wants is to love us. He thirsts for us. He thirsts for our love. All He wants is to be close to you and for you to
experience His amazing love.
Give Him your heart. He loves you so much.
For God so loved the world He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish
but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
