“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10)
Love, the greatest gift to man. How great then is the love from God for His children? To have given us His only begotten Son. He sacrificed His Son and Jesus paid the price, who then sacrificed it all for us. Jesus willingly kept His Father’s commandment to fulfill the scriptures. And, this was all about LOVE…
Love…there are so many kinds of love. We love our spouse/significant other, we love our children, we love our pets, house, car…even say, “Oh, I love chocolate.” But the deepest truest beyond all human comprehension is the LOVE the Father has for us. Agape, pure, fulfilling, unconditional and never ending.
How God must have hurt that day watching His Son being scourged, spat upon and crucified in the most violent and reprehensible fashion. His arms pulled from their sockets hanging on the cross. And, Jesus…the pain and indignities that was thrust upon Him. Yet, the Father did it for us…and Jesus did it for us…to save us and defeat death, and offer us eternal salvation. That is Agape Love.
Have you told your Father how much you love Him today? Take a moment, and lift up your praise and thanks, I promise, that will make His day.
“Thank You Father God, thank You for Jesus and for loving us enough to care way back then, and now…and always.”
John 3:16
King James 2000
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
