Jesus Loves You!
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Does your heart cry out for someone who will really love you?
Someone DOES love you! JESUS loves you! He loved you so much, he died for you.
We all chose to go our own way of sin instead of following God. Our sin has separated us from Him. If we die in our sins, we will be separated from him in Hell forever. But God loved us so much, He made a way for us to escape. He became a man so he could take the punishment for our sins. Jesus came and lived a sinless life. He was tempted in every way like we are, but he never gave in. He went around healing everyone who came to him and forgiving their sins. The religious leaders were jealous, and they hated him because he exposed their hypocrisy. They couldn't stand that he associated with prostitutes and tax-collectors. They plotted to kill him. Jesus knew that he had come to die, and he told his followers that he was laying his life down of his own free will. Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." He was beaten and nails were driven through his hands and feet, nailing him to the cross. He hung there in excruciating pain until he died. Three days later, he rose from the dead and went back to Heaven. Now he is alive forever! He will take everyone who puts their trust in him to Heaven when they die.
Jesus said, "I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you with me, so where I am, you can be also."
All he asks of you is for you to accept what he did for you and come to him! You can come to him just as you are. Just ask him to forgive all your sins and give your life to him. If you want to be his, you have to be willing to turn away from the sins that separate you from him. Jesus said,
"Whoever comes to me, I will never cast away."
Jesus knows about everything that's ever hurt you, and he cares so much. No matter who you are or what you've done, Jesus loves you! He can change you and make you a new person.
If you put your trust in him, he will never leave you or forsake you! He will forgive all your sins!
He is holding out his arms for you.
Will you accept his love?
Do you have a prayer request?
Would you like to speak to someone?
"Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you.
The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness, But God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you.
Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness.
Isaiah 60:1-3 MSG
