The Love of The True Father
John 16:27 NIV
"No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God."
The cross brought so many things to the table in our relationship with God. It brought us salvation. It brought us forgiveness. It brought us joy. It brought us the indwelling Holy Spirit. But the most important thing I'd say it brought was love. We can look to the cross and say, "Wow, Jesus loved us so much that He died for us," but we can also look at the cross and say, "Wow, God loved us so much, He sent His one and only Son to die for our sins." Both are equal expressions of compassionate, merciful, undying love. Love that no human could ever be able to show to another in their lifetime. Whether it be by a friend, neighbor, brother, sister, or even a parent, we've all felt unloved, left out, or unimportant. But what's important to remember is that, just as Jesus told His disciples in this scripture, our Heavenly Father loves us unconditionally all because we have come to love Jesus. So today, let your hearts be filled with love because, even though someone hasn't loved you the right way, God loves you more than you could ever fathom. He is a great Heavenly Father.
