DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 29; Job 38-39; Matt. 15:29 to 16:12
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9
At Calvary, God’s love was manifested and proved! He had only one Son who was infinitely dear to His heart. What must it have cost the Father to send Him? Yet Christ became man; walked on this earth as a stranger, without a place to lay His head, and at last died on a cross. All this because of His love for you and me! Can you say as Paul did, “He died for me?” (Gal. 2:20) —Jim Pizzulli
Well, I said I wouldn’t tell it to a living soul,
How he brought to me salvation, when He made me whole,
But I found I couldn’t hide such love as Jesus did impart.
