Jesus is God’s full and final revelation. God spoke to us in various ways in the past, but in these last days God has spoken to us by the Son, whom God appointed the heir of all things, through whom also God created the world (Hebrews 1:1-2). Jesus is the exact representation of God’s being and the radiance of God’s glory (Hebrews 1:3). He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end (Revelation 22:13). He is the ultimate and definitive expression of God’s truth and love to us. We do not need to look for any other revelation or authority besides Him.
Jesus is God’s absolute love. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him (1 John 4:16). God’s love is not based on our merit, performance, or condition. It is unconditional, unchanging, and eternal. God demonstrated love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). God’s love is not a feeling or an emotion, but a decision and an action. God’s love is not a concept or a theory, but a person and a reality. God’s love is not a compromise or a concession, but a commitment and a sacrifice. God’s love is not merely relative, but absolute. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
God’s love is not impersonal or indifferent, but personal and intimate. It is not generic or uniform, but specific and diverse. It is not distant or detached, but close and involved. God’s love is not one-size-fits-all but tailored to each one of us. God knows us by name, knows our thoughts, knows our needs, knows our desires, knows our struggles, knows our joys, knows our sorrows, knows our strengths, knows our weaknesses, knows our past, knows our present, knows our future (Psalm 139). God loves us as we are, but God also loves us too much to leave us as we are. God loves us with a purpose, a plan, and a promise. God loves us with a grace, a mercy, and a forgiveness. God loves us with a challenge, a correction, and a transformation. God loves us with a calling, a mission, and a commission. God’s love is not static, but dynamic. It is not passive, but active. It is not abstract, but concrete. It is not general, but particular.
Jesus is God’s full and final revelation, God’s absolute love. He is the source, the standard, and the goal of all truth and love. He invites us to know Him, to trust Him, and to follow Him. He commands us to love Him, to love ourselves, and to love others. He empowers us to live by His truth and to share His love. He promises to be with us always, to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).
Prayer
Our Father in Heaven, we come before You today seeking Your love, which is the foundation of our existence. We recognize Jesus as Your full and final revelation, the embodiment of Your love, and the way, the truth, and the life. We acknowledge that He is the source, the standard, and the goal of all truth and love.
We thank You for the unconditional love You have shown us through Jesus Christ. We remember how You loved us before we knew You, and how You sent Jesus to die for our sins, making it possible for us to live with You in eternity. We are grateful for Your love that cannot be measured and that is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
We pray for the wisdom to understand the depth of Your love, to open our hearts to Your tender embrace, and to allow Your love to fill every corner of our being. We pray for faith and assurance in Your unfailing love, for open hearts within us, and for the strength to overcome fear and anxiety.
We seek Your love to mend broken relationships, to bring comfort in times of grief, and to empower us in all that we do. We pray for Your love to guide and illuminate our path, to heal and transform our lives, and to be the driving force behind our thoughts, words, and actions.
We surrender ourselves to You, asking for Your love to be the source of our strength, joy, and peace. We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus, who embodied Your love fully, and we ask that His love may be our constant companion, leading us to live a life that reflects Your love for others.
May Your love be with us, Lord, always, to the end of the age. Amen.
