Meditate On
Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Yet in all these things we are more than
conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:35, 37
More
Than Conquerors Through Jesus’ Love
Jesus said, “Foxes have holes and birds of
the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head” (Matthew
8:20). I find this statement so beautiful. Let me tell you why.
In the original Greek text, the word for
“lay” is a very unique word, klino. The only other place it is used in terms of
Jesus resting His head is at the cross. When Jesus hung on the cross and cried,
“It is finished!” the Bible says, “And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit”
(John 19:30). The word “bowing” here is the same Greek word, klino.
Beloved, it was only at the cross that the
Son of Man finally found a place to rest His head. Jesus found His rest in
redeeming us, in loving us. We, in turn, find rest in feeding on His
sacrificial love for us. Whatever the challenge or need you are facing today,
He has made you more than a conqueror through His love, so meditate on His love
for you today!
