God is love: He did not keep His love in Himself but expanded it toward us humans. Therefore we humans have acknowledged that He was love. Christ Jesus was the biggest love from God the almighty Father: He was God's love shown to and known to and experienced by men.

 

From the beginning men had had to be under the sins and its results, the curse and death; because they were not able to solve for themselves those problems from sins. God also had known it well that the human problem of sinning and curse and death was an unavoidable thing which a man could find a solution for from nothing or by nothing or nowhere. But from the love that comes in His own personality God Himself decided from the beginning to save men, which was Jesus Christ.

 

Jesus Christ came in flesh in order to solve both spiritually and fleshly those problems of humans. Jesus was among His people as one of those who were poor and neglected for thirty years since His coming; who would then know Him as the Son of God? He had kept silent till John the Baptist acknowledged Him; all the time in difficulties and pains Jesus was together with His people with troubles and the burdens of life.

 

At last John called Jesus, "Look, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." Then God said, "This is my son whom I love; with Him I am pleased." John testified the Spirit came down from heaven as a dove and remained on Him. From this time Jesus' life was led by the Holy Spirit and used for His people; He brought life to the dead, healed the lepers, gave sight to the blind and made the deaf listen; He cured the lame to walk and have people including five thousands men eat from five loaves of bread and two fish, which were His signs and miracles that showed His absolute will to love His people.

 

But on that spot of God's love shown so clearly and absolutely humans didn't understand that He was the Son of God. Jesus didn't open it that He was the Son of God; and the religious leaders of that age, lawyers and scribes and priests and Pharisees didn't know who He truly was; Jesus was the secret of the salvation for men. (Colossians 1:27)

 

Therefore Jews didn't understand Jesus as the Messiah but as a prophet. (Matthew 16:13-20) In spit of all those neglects and misunderstandings Jesus was truly the Son of God. Still to Jews even after their so close examinations on Jesus He was the son of Joseph, a carpenter in Nazareth.

 

When they listened to Jesus telling He was the Son of God, Jesus to their eyes was just committing the blasphemy.(John 6:41-44, Matthew 26:62-68) In this way Jews prosecuted Jesus to the utmost; but those cruelest prosecutions and troubles were just from God's will to love humans; they were the practices of His solid promise to save His people from sins and curses. (Isaiah 53:5-6)

 

Therefore His troubles and death became a bag with His eternal blessing for us full in. With overflowing thanks to His so great grace we pay our utmost faith but shan't regret or grumble over what we do for the Lord. Rather we are always regretful not having done the more royalty deeds, thanks-giving, praising and glorifying. How could we pay the equivalent amount of the love done for us by the Son of God Jesus even with all those troubles and labors done by us for His work in this land?

 

All those things of thanks and faith we've done are just the proof that we've got His great love; we are just testifying and confessing it with our heart and deeds. My dear fellows, let's be happy in Jesus' love today and all the time of our lives.

 

Lest His troubles in this land not be in vain let's be freed from sins owing to His blood on the cross. Let's be freed and free from all the curses owing to His work to take unto Himself the curses of our sins. Let's defeat every kind of disease for which Jesus already was wounded. And let's make our whole life the time for thanks-giving to, faith deeds for, praising and glorifying the Lord; let's be joyful and free in Jesus now and forever.
