“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
The love of God is unfailing and incomprehensible. It is one demonstrated in Christ through the cross of calvary. It is the place where Christ bore reproach, condemnation, wrath, curse, sins, and shame, (Rom 15:3, Mark 14:64, John 3:36, Gal 3:13, II Cor 5:21, Heb 12:2), so that we could, through faith and grace, receive acceptance, salvation, peace, blessings, forgiveness, and honor. The road of suffering was not an easy one even though Jesus was God manifest in the flesh, as we see in the garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-39). Yet He chose to walk down that road because of His great love for you and me. He chose to be mocked and spitted on, to willingly endure the pain of the cross in the flesh and the pain of separation from His Heavenly Father in the Spirit, one which we cannot even begin to understand. But know that whatever circumstance you are facing, Christ’s unfailing love is available for you. All you need to do is open your heart, welcome Christ, and know His love by knowing Him.
Let’s pray:
Father, I thank You for how much You love me. Make known the great depths, heights, and width of Your inseparable love towards me. With each day open my heart and help me to grow in discovering this great love towards me, as I grow in my own love for You. In Jesus name, Amen.
