I have received many emails from people who said “Jesus doesn’t care what happens to me or my family. If He really loves us, why does He let our children and families suffer?” I think as Jesus was hanging on the cross for us, God thought the same thing about us.
How it must have hurt God to not only know that His Son was dying, but that He couldn’t even look at Him. God had to turn away from His Son because God is holy and He can’t look on sin. That horrible day when Jesus died for us on the cross He took all our sins on Him so that we can be forgiven through His precious blood. He, who had never done anything wrong in His life, had never sinned one time suffered a death worse than anybody has or ever will suffer.
Today, God is still asking us why we don’t care about hurting Jesus. We hurt Him when we ignore Him most of the day, and when we are cruel to others. We weren’t there the day He died for us, but all of us are just as guilty of killing Him when we reject Him and what He has told us to do. Every time that we say something sarcastic to someone, we pound another nail into the Heart of Jesus.
Do you care about Jesus today? Do you love Him? Have you given Him your heart and your life? If not, don’t wait! You may not have another hour to live. O’ that we would fall in love with Jesus and serve Him with all our heart.
