‘And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us’ - Roman 5:5 [NIV].
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Christ’s love consoles and wipes away tears eternally.
The moment a person believes Christ, instantly he receives the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost helps us to express the love of God, which is shed abroad in our hearts. In other word, the love of God persuades us to God. If we were saved by hearing about God, we would by love tell others about the gospel. At John 14:15 Jesus Christ is reported of saying ‘If you love me, keep my commandments’. You can do this by preaching the gospel to people. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:14‘For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead’. Christ’s death was indeed the communication of the love of God.
In His incarnation, He taught the people and also attended to their physical needs. The synoptic gospel documents numerous occasions where Christ yielded to the immediate physical needs of people. Luke 7:10-13 ‘And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, t here was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, weep not’. When Christ saw the woman, love enveloped Him and He consoled her, attended to her need by resurrecting the boy.
Real love wipes away tears. The love of Christ does not only condole with the broken-hearted; He consoles and wipes away tears eternally! His love is beyond an expression of sympathetic sorrow. His love moves Him to take dynamic actions which cause positive changes in people’s lives. Christ’s love is an eternal solution to all problems.
