Jesus 👑

Jesus Christ’s love for us is the epitome of unconditional love. He gave up His life for everyone, regardless of social status, race, or background. The magnitude of His sacrifice cannot be overstated. It wasn’t a straightforward decision for Him. He knew the pain and agony that awaited Him, yet He still chose to go through with it. Jesus believed that we were all worth it.

In the days leading up to His crucifixion, Jesus was troubled by what was to come. The thought of bearing the sins of the world was not an easy thought to bear. He wept about it, knowing the physical and emotional pain that awaited Him. He wasn’t celebrating the fact that He was about to endure so much pain. But He still chose to go through with it, driven by His love for us.

If you take a look at the world back then and even at the world now, you would probably think otherwise. Mankind has been riddled with evil since the Fall of Man at the beginning of time. Human beings have turned on God many times. They have hurled curses at Him, doubted His existence, and accused Him of many things. But God never shook in His love for us.

When Jesus, God in human form, was on earth, He experienced the same thing. He was tempted, ridiculed, and rejected by His people. But this didn’t deter Him from what He came to do. He continued to love every person that came His way. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and forgave the sinners. He showed us what it means to love unconditionally.

Today, Jesus doesn’t view us, the children of God, as servants. He considers us to be His friends. He sees us as more than people who do His bidding. He sees us as people He loves wholly and ultimately, and He desires to have a relationship with us. In this relationship, He guides us, strengthens us, and instructs us. We reciprocate that love through believing in Him and carrying out His instructions.

Amen
