GOD’S LOVE IS THE BEST NEWS
St. John, the disciple who penned this statement in I. John 4.8
experienced intimately the close relationship, love, friendship
and presence of Jesus Christ.
He referred to himself as” the disciple Jesus loved”. You might ask
whether the other disciples did not feel or experience the same love.
The fact is that because St. John “The Divine” had a close friendship
with Jesus, he in turn experienced the love of Jesus much more
intensely than the rest.
He also wrote,
” By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.”
That’s how we know the extent of Jesus’ love for us.
While we were yet sinners that’s what Jesus did for us to reconcile
us to God.
Much more now we experience the perfect endless love of God,
indeed we experience who God truly is by the Holy Spirit who
is in our hearts to the extent that we call the Eternal Father our “Daddy”.
” See how the Father has lavished His love on us, that we should be called
children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not
know Him.”
” Beloved , now we are children of God and it has not yet been revealed what
we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for
we shall see Him as He is.” ( I. John 3: 1 and 2).
Much much more to come..
