“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
“Having loved His own who were in the world, He now showed them the full extent of His love” (John 13:1).
Whom did Jesus love so much that He willingly gave His own life for them? Perfect people? No!
One of His disciples denied Christ.
Another doubted Him.
Three of those in the inner circle slept while He agonized in the Garden.
Two of them coveted high places in His kingdom.
One became a traitor.
When Jesus rose from the dead, some did not believe that it was so.
Yet, Jesus loved them to the full extent of His love. He was abandoned, betrayed, disappointed, and rejected – yet He loved!
Carry this thought today – LOVE AS JESUS LOVED!
