When we are loved by the Lord

John 11:1-13

 

God created the universe and everything in it. He made man see, know and believe that everything has been done by His Word in the past, is being done in the present, and will be done in the future. He even gave His only promised Son to be whipped and to shed His blood for the world as He had promised, for He always fulfills His promises.

 

The Lord is the only one whom we can trust unconditionally. He is faithful to everyone in all circumstances. All people on earth have a firm belief in the physical world, up to the limit of their understanding of their surroundings. There is no one who doesn’t have faith in the world. The reason that Jesus came to this world was to show us and to let us experience the true measure of what we should believe.

 

God chose to love all people equally, so He sent His only Son, Jesus, to let Him suffer and die on the Cross so that He could demonstrate His love for man. The greatest grace given by the work of the blood and suffering of Jesus Christ will be yours when you acknowledge the Lord and believe in Him.

 

 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:5-6)

 

Jesus solved all the impossibilities for those who loved Him and wanted to be loved by Him. It didn’t matter whether they were poor or of low birth, He always loved them deeply in his heart. He made those who had been dead alive, just like Lazarus. He healed the sick, and gave them strength to stand. He even set the demon-possessed free and delivered them from the hand of evil spirits.

 

Jesus gave His life for those who wanted to be loved by God. Likewise the Lord has been trying to find those who had been dead in their sins but wanted to be loved by Him, with all of their lives. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.” (1 Peter 2:24-25)

 

Dear brothers and sisters! Let us love the Lord so that we can be loved by Him. The work of the blood and the suffering of Jesus Christ is the greatest event ever on earth. Love the Word and the promise of Jesus Christ and His sufferings and death. Let us trust Him deeply to the point that His Word will be fulfilled.

 

When He was on earth, He wasn’t interested in the Pharisees, but in the sick, the demon-possessed and in those who were doomed to die due to their sins. Do you have any impossibilities? All your impossibilities can be solved, when Jesus loves you. Let us love Him with all our strength and with all our lives just as Lazarus, Martha and Mary loved Him.
