MY LOVE
FOR YOU
Very long time ago, there lived a
father and his only lovely son. He loved his son so much that he gave all his
belongings and put all things in his son’s reach to control and direct though
he was still alive. His son has everything his father had; he had the same
power as his father.
His father has two set of servants,
higher servants and the lower servants. But he loved the lower servants so much
like the way he loved his son but these servants were very ungrateful and
disobedient to the father. The father rules a very mighty empire yet he always
wants to explain to the lower servants why they should forsake their evil ways
and neglect their bad attitudes so they could make him happy.
The father and his son are perfect and
just, in short they were exact epitomes of perfection themselves. They never
broke their standards or words, they were impartial and never changed but there
was a tormentor. Every evil the lower servants did made them a captive to the tormentor.
The tormentor was wicked, he accused the servants, punished them whenever they
disobey the father (Gal 4:3). Although the father does not wish that the
servants be punished but he could not save them because for every evil, there
is a price to pay (Romans 6:23).
The father wanted the lower servants to be totally free from the tormentor by ending their disobedience. The only way this could be done was for a perfect one to take all the punishments and the death the lower servants deserved and give them a new life so that they would no longer be under the law of sin & death and not under the whims and caprices of the tormentor.
Coincidentally, the only perfect one
that could undergo this task was the only begotten son of the father whom the
father loved so much. This also means that the son must be a slave to the
tormentor, the son must be punished, tortured, humiliated and die just to make
the lower servants have a new life.
Oh what a sacrifice the father had to
perform! The father would have to miss his son’s presence for over 30years, the
father would also for the very first time curse his son, forsake his son, and
watch the tormentor make a total mockery of his only lovely son. The father
would sit and watch his divine royalty being blasphemed and humiliated by the tormentor.
The father would allow his son to be chained in hell and watch the tormentor
and the servants who he wanted to save, crucify and kill his son, oh! what a
shameful death for a royalty!
Oh how heartbroken the father felt
when he realized that this was what he had to face in order to redeem his lower
servants. What love is this that a man lay his life for his friends (John 15:13).
Although the father had an option not to sacrifice his son, but thank God He did.
He did it because he loves you, he loved his lower servants so much (John 3:16)
The Father here is God, his son Jesus,
the lower servants are mankind, the higher servants are the angels, and the tormentor
is Satan the devil.
Dear reader,
How
would you feel if you were asked to dance naked at the market in your bus
stop just to free your house help from the prison?
What
would you do if the only option you had to save your only child is to
sacrifice your own life?
Would
you be ready to lose your life to save another?
Would
you give your only kidney to save your dying mother or friend?
Would
you sacrifice your royalty for a servant?

But God did these. Jesus left his
throne and gave his divine health, his happiness and eternal life just to make
you a king, free from sicknesses, happy and have everlasting life. John 3:16.
God loves you so much. He is ready to even do more for you.
Eph:
3:20: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we
ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Jer
31: 3b; Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness’
have I drawn thee.
Why delay in responding to God’s call
and live for God. Jesus is calling you today, He is saying “come unto me, I
want to give you rest, I love you with tears in His eyes. I didn’t die for you
in vain, I died so that you will never die again, I died so that you will never
fail, I died so that you will never be poor again. I died so that you will
never have to go to hell. I died to give you an everlasting life.
Why not let God’s kind of love to flow
in your heart today and always to everyone around you even your enemies. Love
without reward, Love without discrimination, Love equally. The ones close to
you that lack clothes, food, and money, kindly share yours with them. Make your
light shine for men to glorify God (Matt 5:16)
My dear friends, if you have been
touched by the Holy Spirit, kindly say this prayer with your mouth;
Almighty
God in Heaven, Today I come to appreciate your everlasting love towards me. I
thank you for sending your son Jesus to die for my sins. I believe you raised
him up after 3days. Lord Jesus, come into my life and be my saviour and
personal Lord. Let your love grow in me and I promise to live for you from
hence forth in Jesus name. Amen
