“WHY do you love Jesus?” I asked some children. One said,
“Because He is my Saviour.” Another, “Because He died for me.” Another, “Because He died to save sinners.” The last answer was, “Because He loved me first.”
Yes, dear little readers, all our love is only in response to His love—love so great that He left His heavenly home and came down to this poor, wicked world to die for us. And now, as God’s word says, “We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:1919We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19).
I.
