Message
There was a very touching story in the media sometimes ago of a very rich parents who have a child that suffered from a kidney sickness. One of the two kidneys could not work well again. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter harmful materials from the human blood in form of urine. The child needed a kidney transplant. That is, a medical procedure of replacing a defective kidney through surgery. The two parents have four kidneys, but none of them was willing to give one to their beloved child. Can you see how limited human love is?
Yet, Jesus gave His life, not just a kidney for us, He did it joyfully. We were sentenced to eternal death in hell because of our sins. God needed a substitute – one who is willing to die in our place. Paul the Apostle, was overwhelmed by the depth of Christ’s love. It was a love that caused him to decide to live his remaining days on earth in thankfulness to his Saviour. Jesus offered Himself in our place. This is love indeed!
He bore your pains and shame. He gave Himself for you. What can you give Him in return? You must be thankful for the love of Jesus. Make a vow, a promise to live the whole of your life to please Him. Choose to serve Him in truth and in righteousness till you die.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, for Your love and mercy to me, I will serve You all the days of my life.

3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
