John 3:16

I truly believe that the story of Jesus' crucifixion is the greatest love story ever told. In fact, it is not a story, but rather the living truth, and it is what inspired me to start this page.

I’m pretty sure most of you are aware of the scripture:

 John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

It’s safe to say that this is the “golden” text of the Bible, and also the most familiar. Personally, I find it to be the most magnificent love story ever told. It does not deal with human emotions, nor does it deal with a romantic relationship that men and women have. Rather, it speaks about a love that is unconditional, unchanging, unfailing and all-consuming. It is almost unbelievable that someone can love us to this extent! Do you realize what this means??? It means that no mater what we do, no matter what doubts we have, no matter how many times we walk away from Him, and defy Him, He STILL loves us, unconditionally.

How many times has someone done something to you, which you feel they were unworthy of your forgiveness, let alone, your love? Many times, we as humans have allowed anger and hurt to change the love we have for one another. God will not do that. He loves us regardless of what happens. He does not love us for what we have or have not done, but He loves us because of who HE is. HE is a forgiving God. HE is a compassionate God. HE is an understanding God. He sent His very own Son, Jesus Christ, to earth so that He could understand what it means to be human and the struggles that we face. So God understands your every predicament and circumstance. Regardless of what it may be, He will love us no matter what.

Ladies, imagine being captured by a man who loves you more than life itself; who is willing to take His life for you. Imagine belonging to a man who finds you beautiful in everyway, despite ALL of your flaws. Imagine a man drawing you closer everyday, and loving you in the way that you have always dreamed. Imagine a man that pursues your heart, above all things. Imagine a man that can satisfy the deepest desires of your heart. A love like this does not exist in our imaginations. . It is real and it exists with Jesus Christ, our Saviour. The Bible is a beautiful love story between Christ and His Bride. He tenderly pursues our hearts. Isn’t it beautiful?

Jesus loves us so much that he endured hatred, betrayal, lying, beating, spitting, whipping, crucifixion, the weight of sin, and the wrath of God all so that we could come to know His father. He sacrificed his life and perfect communion with God so that we do not have to spend an eternity in hell, but in heaven with God.

That is the ultimate sacrifice.
