BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 13

BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 13

 I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with

lovingkindness I have drawn you. J E R E M I A H 3 1 : 3

Who can describe or measure the love of

God? Our Bible is a revelation of the fact that God is

love. When we preach justice, it is justice tempered with

love. When we preach righteousness, it is righteousness

founded on love. When we preach atonement for sin, it

is atonement necessitated because of love, provided by

love, finished by love.

When we preach the resurrection of Christ, we

are preaching the miracle of love. When we preach the

abiding presence of Christ, we are preaching the power

of love. When we preach the return of Christ, we are

preaching the fulfillment of love.

No matter what sin we have committed, no matter

how black, dirty, shameful, or terrible it may be, God

loves us. We may be at the very gate of hell itself, but

God loves us with an everlasting love. The proof? Jesus

Christ, God’s only Son, went to the Cross for us. “For

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten

Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but

have eternal life” (John 3:16).
