Christ's Love - Past, Present, Future (Cross tv) Part 1

 

"Past - What has Christ's Love done for us?

     1. Christ left Heaven to come down to earth to assume human form in a fallen world. 'Christ Jesus Who being in the very nature GOD...taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness...humbled Himself even unto death on the Cross.' (Philippians 2:5-8).

    2. 'Jesus was led of the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.' Matthew 4:1-11, He was tempted in every manner man is, but never fell to the temptation by finishing up His rebuke of Satan, 'Worship the LORD your GOD and serve Him only.'  The strength of His Love for us allowed the harsh cruelty of man to be put upon Him.

    3. Christ's Love for man was fully manifested on the Cross. 'Greater Love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.' John 15:13. Again in Ephesians 2:4-5, 'because of His great Love for us, GOD, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions. He raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms.' "

Man's comprehension of Almighty GOD's Love is so minute! Praise Him that He realizes our frailty and that we continue to grow in His knowledge and wisdom of this fantastic Love!
