No Greater Love
No Greater Love
Rapsodie Adams
We can see no greater love for mankind than the love that Jesus showed us, by way of the cross.
We say we love our brothers and sisters in Christ, the poor and needy, even those in our own family that have a need. We say we are ready to help (you know) part with money. But, we stop up our ears and we cover our eyes. There I’ve said it. Yet we know Jesus left His throne, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and heaven itself…to help us. How’s that for reaching down deep, into a pocket?
He did it for people of every color and nationality, every walk of life. Indeed, for the sexual deviant, druggie, drunkard, thief, liar, murderer, for every sin, that besets mankind. Knowing that He was coming to earth to die for the very people who were going to kill Him. But come He did, to save us from our sin. And in so doing, He showed us this, there is no greater love than when a man lay down his life for a friend; furthermore, that true giving comes from a pure heart.
A Prayer
Dear Father, when I think of how unselfish you were, to send Jesus and how unselfish Jesus was to come. It only proves to show me, how selfish I can be. Please forgive me. Years ago, you showed me that to give what I had in abundance was good. But to give what I didn’t have an abundance of was to give in a pure way, and that was even better. The lesson I learned was, what kind of giving was it, to give what I didn’t need anyway.
Be blessed in Jesus’ name.
