Who is Jesus? What did he do for us? Why is his love for us so amazing? These are all questions we have about this God whose name is Jesus.
Who is Jesus? He’s the son of God. The Bible says in John chapter 3 verse 16: 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life.'
God sent his only son Jesus to die on a cross for you and me. Why? Why would God send his son to die for you and me? The reason why is because he loved us. That’s what makes the love of God so amazing, that he would die for us.
Sin is simply anything you do that is wrong. Have you ever broken one of the Ten Commandments? That is sin. The Bible says in Romans 6:23: '..the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'
Did you know the payment of your sin is death? Because of your sin, you must die. But, God sent us a gift. His name was Jesus. This Jesus came to die on a cross for my sin and your sin because he loves us so very much.
Did you know God loves you? Did you know that God will never leave you? Did you know God will always be with you because he loves you? But why did he do this for us? Jesus had to die so that we could live. Eternal life means a life that goes on forever. There is no end to eternal life. And Jesus died so that you could have eternal life in heaven. Jesus was beat for you. Before they placed him on the cross they led him to a pole, tied him up and beat him. Because of sin, you should have been crucified on the cross. But, Jesus Christ came and took a beating and took the pain and died on the cross so that you wouldn't have to. Why? God loves you more than anyone else will ever love you. Because of this amazing love that Christ had for you he died in your place on the cross. Love him back!
