Tag: What the Bible says about the love of God

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-4-22

Hebrews 4:15 (NKJV) 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

He cares. He knows and He completely understands us. He has been tested in every way. He knows what we need in that moment and hour of sorrow, pain, sadness and desperation.

He provides strength for each one of us and a way to get through whatever we face. If we obey and surrender, we will come out with victory!

His compassion for us is so real. The Bible says He wept when He heard about the death of Lazarus.

John 11:35-36 (NKJV) 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

Another time that Jesus wept was over Jerusalem.

Luke 19:41 (NKJV) 41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it…

For it would be destroyed because they were blind to the true nature of His kingdom, and they would reject Him. As a result, it would be destroyed.

Jesus loves deeply and He felt pain at times. He knows our pain for sure.

Another time that He was in tears was in Gethsemane, when He was drawing close to the time of His death on the cross. He cried out in deep anguish to His Father. No one could ever understand what He was dealing with in that hour.

Hebrews 5:7 (NKJV) 7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear…

We are not alone today or any day. We have a great High Priest, Jesus Christ, Who has been through more than we would ever know. He can sympathize with us.

Run to Him.

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-21

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

I am so humbled today in reading this verse, knowing the love that our Father has bestowed on us.

This means that those who belong to Him, those who have put their faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, are called children of God.

It’s amazing that He went through all of this for us, and still many have not accepted it. So many have not even considered what He went through to offer us the opportunity to become His children.

When we have been provided with a way to become a child of God, who would reject such a blessing, such an honor, such an answer to all of our problems?

Don’t reject the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Receive the truth today. Repent of our sins and become a child of God this day.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-12-18

Isaiah 53:5-6 (NKJV) 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Another word for iniquity is sin. He took the rap for all our sin. He was bruised, whipped and mocked. He was beaten beyond recognition and nailed to a cross.

Who would do this for us?  Who would ever put us before their own needs and desires? Jesus Christ, the Son of God. A Man that was born of a virgin.

Even though He was the Son of the Most High God, He still felt pain, He still had emotions and He still wept, like we do. His heart ached at different times and He felt loneliness, just like us.

I overlooked these things as a child and just took it for granted, that because He was God’s Son, God protected Him from the pain of the crucifixion. I had it in my head that He could do what He did for me with no problem. I neglected to realize and understand that He was still a Man of flesh, just like us.

He felt it all. Don’t think He didn’t. He felt the stripes. He felt the nails. He didn’t get away with anything because of being the Son of God. What this man did for each one of us was priceless. It was beyond our human understanding of love.

What does He ask for in return? He asks for us to receive Him and His love. And to love others like He loves us.

His love changes hard hearts and makes them soft and new. His love brings life!

John 13:34-35 (NKJV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Thank you, Jesus, for what you did for us. We are ever so grateful and humbled!
