I think I may have mentioned before that a Bible scholar was asked to sum up the entire Bible in one sentence and he replied, “Jesus loves me this I know because the Bible tells me so.” Without His love for us, there would be no Christian life here for me to write about or eternal life to look forward to after this life comes to an end.
I could never over emphasize the depth and power of the love of Christ Jesus. Every time I hear someone testify about their faith in Jesus, what really makes it authentic for me is when they describe their feeling of unworthiness. When you are confronted by the love of Christ and experience the spiritual rebirth that faith in Him makes possible, you cannot help but be overwhelmed by his love and be eternally grateful for His mercy and grace, The power of His unfailing love becomes real, humbling us.
I have quoted the chorus of “I am loved”, but it is a verse of that song that always touches me deeply and brings tears of joy to my eyes. “I said, ‘If you knew, you wouldn’t want me. My scars are hidden by the face I wear.’ He said, ‘My child, my scars run deeper and it is my love for you that put them there.'” Yes, the One who knows us best does love us most.
