He who did not spare His
own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely
give us all things? Romans 8:32
God is a good God. He is a
God of love. But we will never know how much God loves us until we
know how much He loves Jesus, because He gave us Jesus, His beloved
Son.
Do you remember the story
of Abraham in Genesis 22? Abraham’s heart must have been broken when he led his
one and only promised son, Isaac, up Mount Moriah to be sacrificed. But in the
end, Isaac did not have to die because God provided a substitute—a ram.
The ram caught in the
thicket was really a picture of Jesus, who would one day be arrested, and led
up Mount Calvary to be crucified in our place for our sins.
My friend, God so loved His Son, but He so loved you too, that He was willing to give up His Son for you. That’s how much He loves you! And if God was willing to give you heaven’s best—Jesus—do you think that He will withhold anything good from you? (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
