This months
teaching is about love. The first one we
will be learning about is the most important of all.
Whitney
Houston sang a song called “The Greatest Love”. She thought the greatest love
was to love yourself. Yes, that is a
great love, which will be in one of the next lessons, but she was slightly
mistaken.
The greatest
love is the love God has for us. John
3:16 says that “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God’s love
is so great that He wanted us to be His children! Without Jesus bridging the
gap between us and God, that would never ever happen. So, without judging us,
and while we were still in our sin, God sent His Son to save us. NOW, that is
true love!!
His love did
not say, “well, let Me see how good they are; let Me see if they will obey Me;
let Me wait until they deserve it”. No, His love is pure and
unconditional. He simply loves us
without anything on our part.
God has
given us the opportunity to be His children. So many awesome blessings come
with belonging to Him. Our reason for receiving His love should not be things,
or what else He can do for us, it should be simply because He loved us first.
Jesus loves
us so much that He was willing to step out of Heaven, knowing what He was going
to endure. He knew how He would be
treated and rejected, yet He did it anyway. THAT is real love. He took all the sin we would ever commit on
Himself. He took our place! Because God cannot
be attached to sin, Jesus had to be separated from His Father. That had to be even harder for Him, knowing
that Him and His Father had to disconnect for a time, so He could make sure we
had a chance to be children of God and have the right to multiple blessings and
eternal life. There is no greater love
than that.
God bless
each of you and I hope you will look forward to the other lessons on love this
month.
