Jesus Loves Us

Good afternoon everybody,
Just how much does Jesus love you? Let me count the ways.
He left His seat and position at the right hand of God the Father.
He emptied Himself of all His glory and power, becoming fully human.
Philippians 2 6Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [[b]possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not [c]think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped [d]or retained,
7But stripped Himself [of all privileges and [e]rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.
He became a completely dependant baby, submitting to the authority of two young sinners, Mary and Joseph.
He grew up tempted but not sinning. Completely correctible.
He often did without sleep and food out of compassion for the people.
He was pressured to the point of sweating blood, tempted to think of Himself. Yet He only thought of us. Only love for us!
He went to the cross to cleanse our sins. (becoming sin itself)
He went to the whipping post for our punishment, the curse of the law.
He went to hell so we would not have to.
He was raised from the dead, raising us with Him. (Ephesians 2 4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
He gave us authority over demons and disease. (Matthew 16)
He put His spirit within us. 2 Corinthians 1:22
And He gave us gifts! 1 corinthians 12
Wow! What a wonderful savior! Jesus loves us! He really loves us!!
I love you all.

healed by His stripes,
