JESUS LOVES YOU
…to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge…
Ephesians 3:19 ESV
Smile, Jesus loves YOU
Jesus Loves You
No matter what you’ve done or said, who you’ve hurt, or what sins you’ve committed, Jesus still loves you!
Nothing you could ever do or say could change the fact that Jesus loves you. You may not love Him or believe in Him. You may even hate Him, you may be angry at Him, or just not care about Him at all. None of that will ever change the fact that He loves you — He always has and He always will. There is nothing, not one thing, you can do to make Him stop loving you.
We just want you to know, if you don’t already, that Jesus loves you. Or perhaps this is a reminder for you. The world can be a tough place to live and you may not feel like anyone loves you or cares about you. You may feel like you are not worthy of being loved because of things you’ve done or because someone in your life has told you that you are not worthy of being loved. But we are here to tell you that no matter how you feel or why you feel the way you do, you can always cling to the fact that Jesus loves you and He cares about you. He cares about all of us.
Jesus spent His entire ministry tending to the needs of other people. He healed the sick, the blind, the deaf, and the lame. He was a man of great compassion. He raised people from the dead. He forgave people of their sins. He fed the hungry and comforted the poor. He loved Peter even though He knew Peter would deny Him three times. He forgave Judas and reached His hand out to him in a gesture of love even though He knew Judas would betray Him. He hung on the cross, dying for our sins. He asked God to forgive His accusers for they knew not what they did. His entire ministry was totally focused on caring for the needs of hurting people. (For specific references to all of these statements, read the book of John.)
The love of Jesus Christ is awesome. It is amazing… It is unlike anything you could ever imagine and it is yours. No strings attached. No cost to you. You don’t have to buy it — you couldn’t even if you wanted to. It’s not for sale. You don’t have to do anything to earn it — you couldn’t, no matter how hard you tried. You don’t have to do anything for Jesus to love you. He just does. Not because of what we’ve done, but because that is who He is. Jesus is love. And Jesus loves you!
