Sacred Truth Friday: His Great Love
Today's Devo
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
Romans 5:6-9 KJV

Christ did everything for us. Came to earth. The miracles. Every word. Every healing. It was all for us. While we were His enemies through sin, He died for us. Think on that.

O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
it fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!
He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore,
for us temptation sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought;
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us at length gave up his breath.
For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here,
to guide, to strengthen and to cheer.
To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity.
