The love of Christ

1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered you first what I received also, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures.

Are coming with me to take a look at Golgotha? See, there's a man hanging on a cross. He hangs in between other men and sometimes speaks a few words. But it are powerful words, words of forgiveness, eternal salvation, a cry to God and a declaration of fulfillment of His great mission: die for the sins of men.

Jesus is widely used as a curse. He is often mocked and talked about Him as about a fairy tale. In the world, on Facebook, on television it does not matter what you look and read, but you see such a hate against him. But why that hate? Because if you have taken a look at Golgotha, you see that Christ who carries the whole world on his shoulders. He had to die as punishment for the sin of the people. Yes, there you can be blind, but He also wants to open your eyes. His love for people is infinitely deep, He even wanted to die for it.

We may worship Jesus because He has carried the punishment of God. You could not do it yourself, I could not even hang on a cross and think of others so what about die for others? But Jesus gave His life and that is the core of faith.

He gave Himself delivered to Satan and to death. He has come down to hell, out of pure love. There is absolutely no grammar of own interest, but He has given Him as a sacrifice. For your sins, without having to do anything for it. It does not have to happen yet, it has already been completed. You only have to believe it.

And when we can believe this, this lovely love of Jesus, we fall in worship!

Lord Jesus my Savior! You are exalted and your love is inexhaustible. You went to the cross for me and carried my sins. What a wonderful Savior you are. I praise you who you are, what you do and what you have done. No one loves me as much as you do. And by that I may love you, like no one else. You are perfect, holy, delicious, wonderful and loving. My Jesus, my Savior. Hallelujah!
