I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The
blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of
John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son,
so that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal
life.”
This much-loved verse of Scripture, outlines the glorious gospel of
grace clearly and simply. It tells that Christ died a sacrificial death on
the cross, as an expression of the indescribable love of God for us,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that
whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”Jesus
told this astonishing truth to Nicodemus the synagogue leader, who
came to meet Him secretly. He explained to him that the kingdom of
heaven was only open to those who look in faith to Christ, the-
Redeemer.
It was God Who purposed that the only way man’s death sentence
could be reversed, was if a perfect, sinless Man was willing to pay the
price for sin. But no man was good enough for all are sinners. And so
out of love for us, God gave His only begotten Son, as the sacrifice
for sin and to take the punishment that we deserve, “so that all who
believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. “In His goodness,
grace, mercy and love, He gave His beloved Son to live a perfect life
and die a sacrificial death – so that all who believe in Him will not be
condemned but live eternally. God says, “I have loved you with an
everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn
you.”God has drawn us close to Him through His Son the Lord Jesus
Christ by His death on the cross.
We have been experiencing the love of Jesus in one way or the
other. His love is an everlasting love. He displays His love by opening
the eyes of the blind. He went around healing the sick and the
needy. He made the lame to walk and caused the dumb to speak. He
feeds the hungry and raises the dead. He lifts those who are bowed
down. He forgave the sinners of their sinful life. And He builds up the
ruined places of your life. The Lord says, I will build you up. And you
shall be rebuilt. Many have lost their family lives because of divorce
or because you have been forsaken by your wife or your husband. To
such people the Lord says, “I will rebuild your families.” Your ruined
life will be re established. Believe in the Lord. He will do marvellous
things in your life. The Bible says, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God
has prepared for those who love God.
God loved David. He exhibited his friendly love to David by blessing
him with a wise son Solomon, to sit on his throne after him. Hiram
king of Tyre wrote to Solomon saying” Because the Lord loves His
people, He has made you king over them.” Hiram said, God of
Israel, who made heaven and earth, has given king David a wise
son, endowed with prudence and understanding. In the same
manner God will bless you with a generation that would be wise,
prudent, and with good understanding. Many of you are longing to
have the gift of a child. God will soon bless those of you who are
crying for a child. The Bible says, God grants the barren woman, a
home, like a joyful mother of children. The Love of God has been
poured upon you for you are very precious in His sight. Therefore
God wants to honour and exalt you in life. Make Jesus who gave
His life for you, “The centre of your life.” God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed
day. Thank You Lord for sending Your only to die for our sin. Thank
You that His blood has paid the penalty for our sin and that the
power of sin in our life has been broken through Him. Christ’s
sacrifice on the cross, reveals Your immense love for mankind. We
give thanks and praise for this free gift of salvation, that is open to
whosoever will come, to God through Jesus. We thank you for your
everlasting Love and for rebuilding our ruined lives. Help us to be
faithful and seek God diligently all the days of our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
