"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." (Isaiah 62:1)

Intervening Love

http://awwy.hutchcraft.com/Transcript.aspx?id=535335ca-9f26-4ac5-9eb0-9016c8d31708

Picture in your mind Jesus hanging, suspended by nails, on a bloody cross, as He takes on Himself all the agony of all the sin of all the world. At that moment He's going to your hell in your place so you don't ever have to.

However rejected you may have been in your life, however damaged you are, however dirty you've gotten, Jesus loves you, no strings attached. He didn't give up on you. He stands ready to adopt you, to love you, to open the door of eternal life to you. You don't begin to know what love is until you've been loved by Jesus Christ. He's waiting to intervene in the sin and guilt, and hurt, and hell of your sin with His love; the love that changes everything, including where you spend eternity. But you have to open up to His love. You have to put your trust in Him to rescue you.

Your only hope is the intervening love of the One who loves you most. Your only hope is Jesus. You've lived enough days without Him. Let this be your first day of belonging to Him.
