I liked Selwyn’s introduction: “The willingness of our Creator to subject Himself to the conditions under which we live must surely spell out one thing – God is intensely interested in and concerned about all aspects of our lives, including our hurts and sorrows.” Jesus does all this – because He loves us! The most important spiritual truth that I can ever proclaim – is that our God loves us – with all His power. Nothing is held back – not even the life of His Son – can you say the same?
Verses 8 and 9, from Chapter 13, of the book of Hebrews (the author of this letter has not been verified) – supports our trust in God’s promises: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them. … “.
Jesus, our God who walked with Adam and Eve, who punished those nations that did wicked acts in His sight – and who, as a man, died - a perfect sacrifice on a cross – is the same then, as He is now. His love for the world – His creation – is never ending – it’s His love expressed through grace that gives us the strength to carry on – proclaiming His name.
Can there be anything better – than to know that we are loved – by Jesus?
