Yes, Jesus loves me.

Question: How do you know that Jesus loves you?





Think about it.



Yes, He died on the cross for our sins and gave us the gift of eternal life if we confess our sins, accept Him as our Lord and Saviour; and really that is the ultimate expression of love. But. From the life that you're living each and every day, how can you tell that Jesus loves you?



Please take the time to pause and think about your answer before you read on. Thank you =)





I know of a brother who was a very successful lawyer. Knew his profession inside out and at a young age, was at the top of the league. It definitely helped that he received one of the most prestigious education possible and came from a well-to-do background. Then, he came to know Jesus Christ. He left his profession to become a missionary, and learned sewing/stitching to earn some money to support himself. In the course of his missionary work, he got beaten up, jailed... In the end he was killed.

Would you say Jesus loved him?

Actually, I would think you know this brother.. Because he is none other than the apostle Paul in slightly modernised terms.

Would you say Jesus blessed him?

If we saw fellow brothers and sisters in our church who are poor, would we say they're blessed? Will we feel that Jesus loves them very much?

How about those among our friends that don't make it through their exams? Struggling through times of temptations? Living in persecution?

Or do we only feel that they are in a difficult state?

mull, mull, mulling...
