He Loves Us, Do We Love Him?

Today, we love our cars, potato chips, a new dress or anything else, but do we really love God? Let’s see—-

You were there, standing near your Hotel building.It was one cold day in December. Suddenly you hear something appears to be going on at that barn over there. There must be a program put on for all of us who came to Bethlehem for the tax stuff. Oh, I see many angels with beautiful dresses, but where did they get all those lights? There is even a lighted star above the barn.I noticed people heading over there. I’d better go too. Wait a minute! Some of those dirty shepherds are hurrying over there too. Why. on earth are they even in town? As soon asthey came near they knelt down by a manger. I can see now. I see nothing but a baby. Why all the fuss?

The shepherds came out yelling “Glory to God. He has given us a Son”. And the Angels are singing ” Glory to God in the highest,” over and over again. Something big must have happened. All this is real, not a program. One of the shepherds came near to me. I asked him what was going on.” Didn’t you know?” he said

We have been waiting so long and now He is here. Glory to God!”

Yes, I had heard that, but really, I didn’t think it would happen. I guess that is the Son of God. I will watch Him, that’s what I’ll do. He played with the other kids, and even scrubbed his knees. I didn’t see anything different from all the other kids.

You saw Him later. He was walking all over with some of his friends. People were calling Him names. He even healed a man on the Sabboth Day. He he healed many people. He does seem to be a little different at that.Oh oh, there seems to be some kind of commotion in that park.Soldiers are heading over there. They arrested Him. And for what? I don’t think he has done anything wrong! They took Him in and tortured Him. And for what? And He still didn’t say anything. When they got through with that, they took Him out to Mount Calvary and crucified Him. He died and someone buried Him. I felt awfully sorry for Him.

He was in the grave three days but on the third day He came out of the grave! How do I feel about Him Now? He went into Heaven to be with His Father, God.

He loved us. In the first place, it was love that God sent His only Son into the world as a baby. He had to do something about the sinful living that was going on. It was love that sent Jesus to the cross. He died for all of our sins. And He still loves us. We can talk to him all the time. He takes care of us. But do we love Him, real good? That is a question we all have to answer.
