Christ Loved and Gave
Ephesians 5:25b

 
The Upward Look
    by Max D. Hutto,

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,” Ephesians 5:25 NASB

The greatest example of love is found in Jesus Christ. His love drove Him to Calvary’s cross. There He gave up His life to be our sacrifice, to pay the price, the penalty for our sins. He bore the wrath, the just giving His life for the unjust, so that we could have an eternal relationship with God. He died, was buried, and rose again to offer us salvation, redemption, and eternal life. His love was the motivation for His self-giving sacrifice.

Lord Jesus, as I celebrate this Easter season, I am overwhelmed by Your great love for me and for all who trust in You. May Your grace, mercy, and love flow through my life and motivate me to live for You.
