Meditate On
And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the
air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
Matthew 8:20
Meditate
On His Love
I find what Jesus said in Matthew 8:20 so beautiful. Let
me tell you why. In the original Greek text, the word “lay” is a very unique
Greek word, klino. It is seldom used in the New Testament. 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 that “He bowed His head,
and gave up the ghost” (John 19:30, KJV). The word “bowed” here is the same
Greek word “klino.”
My friend, 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 you,
in saving you. He found His rest in loving you.
So beloved, feed on Jesus’ love for you. Listen to
sermons or sing songs about His love for you. You will be surprised at how
strong it will make you. You will become more than a conqueror, not through
your love for Him, but through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37)!
