'...You will understand later' John 13:7 Word for today Sat 3 Nov 2012
What's amazing about Christ's love is not that He knows and forgives all your past sins, but that He knows and has decided to forgive your future ones too. On the eve of His crucifixion Jesus washed His disciples' feet, saying, 'You will understand later.' He knew thay were about to perform the vilest act of their lives, deserting Him. By morning they would bow their heads in shame and look down at their feet in disgust. And when they did, He wanted them to rememberthat He's washed thei rfeet. Remarkable. He provided mercy before they neeed it and forgave their sin before they even committed it. Deeply moved and compelled by His love, all bu tone of them would go out and preach teh gospel and lay down their lives for Him.
Paul writes, 'For the love of Christ compels us...' (2 Corin 5:14 NKJV). Christs love for you is: (a) the ony constant that never changes in a constantly changing world; (b) the thing that will draw you back to Him each time you fail; © the driving force that will cause you to want to give Him your all.
Be Blessed today and always by His love
