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!
