GOD’S LOVE REVEALED
Which is better love spoken or love shown? Yet, God has done both through Christ Jesus. For He is the Word, the Logos, the greatest and fullest communication of God’s love to us. He is love written in the flesh. Christ is God’s Word of love spoken to us.
And Christ is God’s great love shown to us. For He proved His love by dying for us while we were yet sinners. He is Love come down from heaven to become one of us, so that He might die for us. He did all of this not because we were deserving of love, but because He “is love” (1 John 4:16).
God’s character of love intersected His character of holiness in Christ at the cross making a way for us to know and love Him and others in return. O the wonder and glory that the chief attribute of God revealed to us through Jesus is love!
PRAYER: Father, thank You for the love You have shown towards us in Jesus. And for the ongoing love You show through Your provision and the giving of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to be conduits of Your love to others in this world as we serve in love and give out the gospel in love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
