RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SATURDAY, 14TH MAY.

HE PROVED THE FATHER'S LOVE.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

The Lord Jesus came to show us what God is like. He revealed Himself to us to let us know how much God loves us, and how that He’s more willing and concerned for our success than we could ever be. He desires our good more than we could ever want. The human mind, however, can’t figure this out. “How could God love me?” one may ask,
but Jesus proved that He does.

Jesus was different from all the patriarchs and the prophets; He was different from Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Moses, Joshua, etc. The prophets preached and prophesied judgments: “...If you sin, be sure your sins shall find you out” (Numbers 32:23). Ezekiel prophesied, “...The soul that sinneth shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4). Moses commanded the children of Israel, according to the Law, to stone people to death who had committed certain sins.

But when Jesus came, He brought grace and truth: “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). The Bible says by Him, all who believe are justified from all things, from which they couldn’t be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:39). It’s a new day! Glory to God! Jesus proved the Father’s love.

The Father has always loved us. Jeremiah 31:3 says, “The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love....” To prove His great love for us, He sent Jesus: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). The Father couldn’t do any more than He did when He sent His Son, Jesus Christ. That’s all He needed to do to demonstrate His love for us, and He did it.

Enjoy the love of God today, knowing that He did the utmost that could have ever been done to prove His love for you. You’re, indeed, valuable to Him.

PRAYER
Lord Jesus, thank you for paying the price that I could never have paid, in demonstration of the Father’s unconditional love, mercy, and overwhelming kindness towards me. Now I live joyfully in righteousness, free to serve you without guilt, inferiority or condemnation. I walk in this consciousness.

Hallelujah!
