Most of us have been told, or at least heard that God loves us, that Jesus loves me this I know for the bible tells me so. But do we really understand this, or has it become a passing issue that we look over. This Love is something which we need to experience like we do in worship, we must encounter this Love. Eph. 3:16 - 19 says that this Love that we have access to is something that surpasses all knowledge. This is a love that does not have a top a bottom or sides; it goes on through all eternity. Get this:
-We live in one galaxy called the Milky Way Galaxy. There are more than 100 billion known galaxies in this universe. God created this with the word of His mouth. God spoke this very universe into being.
-Think of how many stars are in the whole universe. Think as big as you can and have that number in your head. There are more than 70 sextillion stars in this universe. That is a 7 with 22 zeros. Isaiah 40:26 tells us that He knows the stars by name. So God knows 70 sextillion stars by name, every single one and He commands them where to go and what to do. One time I heard a preacher say “… if all those stars were put into Websters dictionaries you would get 40 quadrillion dictionaries. 40 quadrillion dictionaries is enough to build a highway to the moon and back.”
-But hear this, none of that moves Him. The only thing that moves God is you. His heart is ravished by tour simple desire to look to Him. The heavens are the works of His hand and He loves you.
We are sinners doomed to die without the grace of God. The only reason this grace is available is because of Jesus Christ. Jesus came to the earth and died for our sins. Listen to me, Jesus Christ hung on a cross for you.
You ________________, were on His mind when He hung there on the cross. He was replaying the picture of you in His mind. He was scoffed at and beat so that He could have you. Nails really did go through His hands and feet for you. God sent His only son down to the earth, but more than that Jesus came to earth, knowing that He was going to die a slow and painful death. Something we cannot even grasp is that Jesus was seated in Heaven and was in perfect fellowship with the Father and the Holy Spirit for all eternity past, and then he suffered the loss of eternity so that He may have us. He was siting on the throne forever, in perfection then He came to earth for YOU. He loves you. Let the conviction of the Lord pierce your heart now with His consuming fire of Love for you. Amen.
