--THE LOVE OF CHRIST~~

---I WILL REMEMBER THY LOVE FOR ME~~

--"...that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able...to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." -

--CHRIST'S sacrificial love for us was remarkable. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," which He did. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

The gospels give graphic portrayals of Christ's physical suffering on the Cross, but a prophetic passage equally explicit is found in Isaiah, where we read that because of His treatment, "His visage was so marred more than any man." Why did He endure all this? "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities..the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

How should we react? Certainly by accepting His 'free gift' of forgiveness, based on the truth that our sins are already paid for, but also with a heart of loving remembrance throughout our entire lives.~~
