Today is Mark 1:21-45.
When teaching about the love of God, A. W. Tozer said, “First of all, love is the principle of good will. The angel sang, “good will towards men.” (Luke 2:14) Love always wills the good of its object and never wills any harm to its object.”
Jesus demonstrated God’s love in the words He spoke. “He taught them….”(verse 22) God knew that the best way for us to see Him and understand Him, was for us to be taught by Him. His will towards us came out in every Word Jesus taught or preached.
Jesus demonstrated God’s love, His will for our good when He healed the sick. “He healed many who were sick with various disease, and cast out many demons…” (verse 34) In fact Jesus spoke the very intent of God’s heart towards us when approached by a leper desperate for Jesus to make him clean, free of the horrendous disease. Jesus said, “I will…” (verse 41) His divine determination was for that man’s good, to be made whole, “clean.”
Jesus is still demonstrating God’s love. As Paul wrote in Romans 5:8:
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Jesus is our Heavenly Father’s love demonstrated — His will for our good. He wants us to Know Him!
He wants us to know His love!
Your Love
