Jesus in His prayers for all His disciples before He was betrayed and crucified, said in John 17:3, “Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the Only True God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” In my humane mind, I can never understand why God never gave up on us. Why didn't He pull the plug on us and wipe out all of us? I know from my own sinful heart (Psalm 51:3) that I cannot never be worthy of His Love for me (Romans 3:23).
His Grace and Great Mercy shown to us as Christians to me are unfathomable. I can never understand why He sacrificed so much just so we can have a relationship with Him. Indeed, only He will have the answers (Deuteronomy 29:29). Now that we have received His Salvation by His Grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), we should constantly pray to ask that He teaches us how to be showing Jesus’ Heart to many others around us who are still sinners and turning their backs against the Only True God.
Through our unique experience of coming to know Christ, we know that God has never given up on us. He wants all of us to learn what true, authentic love really is. The entire Bible is about His Great Love for us and how He is educating us what His Real Authentic love is all about. The ultimate way to educate us about love is for us to show others what His Love is all about. This then is the Heart of Jesus so pass His Love around, folks (Matthew 22:39).
We are commanded to pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44) and even to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44) because we need to show them the Heart of Jesus. We are also commanded to even go to the extent of laying our lives for our brothers (John 15:13). I believe that God did not take Christians away like Enoch (Genesis 5:24) because He wants all of us to show others His Heart. He wants all of us to be witnesses of His Grace and Mercy towards all sinners. He desires all of us to have a relationship with Him and none to perish at all (2 Peter 3:9).
Let us as true Christians be always ready to give a defense for the Hope we hold on to (1 Peter 3:15) so dearly in the midst of a dying and sinful world (1 John 2:16-17). Let’s be showing this Heart of Jesus to many others who are still rejecting Him today!
