Galatians 2:20, “The Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me!”
Let us sit down and ponder the matchless love of Jesus!
Brethren, what are we, that the precious Jesus should love us and give Himself for us? We were vile sinners, God’s enemies, and objects of His wrath–just like the perishing world around us. We have actually out-sinned many who are now in Hell!
Yes! we were once poor wretches wallowing in our blood, and running headlong into damnation–and yet behold, “Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God!” Ephesians 5:2
Jesus is Heaven’s delight, the joy of angels, the song of the redeemed, the radiance of the Father’s glory!
He is the sinner’s only hope. Because He is mighty to save, tender to receive the undeserving, the ill-deserving and the Hell-deserving into His holy family. He is the Father’s wondrous gift. Because He is sent in mercy and love, bruised for our transgressions, and faithful to cleanse us from all iniquity. And He is our soul’s all-sufficient portion. For He is satisfying our every holy longing, supplying our every need, sustaining us in every trial, and securing our eternal joy. In Him alone, the heart finds rest, the conscience finds peace, and the soul finds life everlasting!
Therefore, “I will be yours forever,” says Jesus, “and My grace shall be yours forever, and My glory shall be yours forever, and My righteousness shall be yours forever. All that I am and all that I have, shall be yours forever!”
Oh, what heart can conceive, what tongue can express–this matchless love of Jesus!
“May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.” Ephesians 3:18-19
