Today’s
Scripture: John 3: 16-17
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be
saved through Him.”
Words
of Devotion
I want you to try and picture those moments in heaven
just before God the Son left His throne of majesty and came to earth as a baby.
Think about it: The angels in heaven understood the life that lay before Him.
The Father was putting Him on a path that would lead to humiliation and death.
And Christ Himself knew the pain He would endure on the cross. It must have been
so hard.
So what made Him go? It was love. God loved the people
of this planet, and knew Jesus was the only way we could be saved from the
consequences of our sin. And our planet – a little speck in the great universe
– was loved so much that God became a man. We didn't deserve Him, but we got
Him.
It’s been well said, “God doesn't love us because we’re
valuable; we’re valuable because He loves us.” No truer words have been spoken.
Jesus didn't come into the world because He found us attractive. No, He came
into the world so that we might become holy and blameless in the eyes of God.
Our Lord experienced so much hardship by coming into
the world. But He knew it was worth it, to rescue us from the dominion of
darkness and bring us into His Kingdom!
JESUS CAME BECAUSE OF HIS
GREAT LOVE FOR US. PRAISE HIM THAT BY ACCEPTING THAT LOVE, YOU’RE MADE HOLY IN
GOD’S EYES.
