OUR DAILY BREAD : THE PRICE OF LOVE

THE PRICE OF LOVE
TODAY’S READING:
ISAIAH 53:9-12
________________________________________________________________
He poured out his
life unto death.
________________________________________________________________
Our daughter burst into tears as we waved goodby to my parents. After visiting us in England, they were starting their long journey back to their home in the US. “I don’t want them to go,” she said. As I comforted her, my husband remarked, “I’m afraid that’s the price of love.”
We might feel the pain of being separated from loved ones, but Jesus felt the ultimate separation when He paid the price of love on the cross. He, who was both human and God, fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy 700 years after Isaiah gave it when He “bore the sin of many” (ISA. 53:5).
Because of love, Jesus came to earth and was born a baby. because of love, He received the abuse of the teachers of the law; the crowds, and the soldiers. Because of love, He suffered and died to be the perfect sacrifice, standing in our place before the Father. We live because of love.
______________________________________________________________________
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away our sins,
have mercy on us, and help us to extend mercy and love to others.
Show us how we might share Your love with others today.
**Jesus was the prfect sacrifice who died to give us life.
