PREFACE:
‘The Greatest Love’
To begin my profile of Jesus’ and His Ministry, I will endeavor to emphasize His greatest quality, which
just happens to be imbued and manifested in all of His other attributes. This ‘greatest quality attribute’ has been offered to all whom God the Father has given to Him, to forgive, cleanse, and Sanctify by shedding His blood on Calvary’s
Cross; thus ushering in reconciliation, and making them eternal life recipients! All due to the Father’s LOVE manifested through Jesus Christ, who will raise His Sanctified and Holy on the last day! Ref. (John 6:39; 17:2; 17:9, and 17:24).
Note the underlined adjective in my statement ‘The Greatest Love,’ which doesn’t even dent nor does
it do justice to the infinite spectrum of this ‘Greatest Love;’ for it has been demonstrated and is still being demonstrated to all recipients who have been chosen to receive God’s ‘Greatest Love’ in the personage of Jesus the
Christ, the only begotten Son of God! This demonstrative True LOVE of God, personifies a quality, our hearts should emit, and ascribe to! When you view scripture, note: (1st Corinthians 13:13) (NASB) 13 “But now faith, hope, love, abide these three;
but the greatest of these is love” another corroborating verse is (Galatians 5:6 )(NLT) 6 “For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important however, is Faith expressing
itself in Love,” which I use to support and validate my title statement ‘The Greatest Love’.
My intent is to demonstrate how the ‘Greatest
Love’ ever offered to those who were created in the image of God, is ‘The Greatest Love’ one will, or can ever come to know, and be part and partial to, and this ‘Greatest Love’ is being displayed even ‘to date.’ I
must emphasize as strongly as I can, this ‘Greatest Love’ is being demonstrated 24/7, even during what may appear to be a disastrous point in the lives of some or even many. I believe I can safely speculate if an individual lives long enough, they
would have heard or witnessed comments echoed sounding something like this: ‘if God is such a Loving God, then why did He allow this to happen!’ ‘Where is this so called loving God,’ especially when we need Him most? I’m sure
you’ve heard it before or something similar; for even scripture has something to say about it in (Luke 13:1-5.) My attempt to profile the ministry of the ‘Greatest Love’ will be inadequate at best! For the finite limits of my knowledge is
like having a thumb tack and trying to carve out a bust statue! However, by the grace of God, I will pen on the following hallowed out pages several narratives highlighting ‘Who Is This Jesus’; and the Ministry of Jesus Christ, for you the reader.
This ‘Greatest Love’ I endeavor prayerfully to write about is a phenomenon of heavenly proportions, which you and I do not deserve!
But thanks be to God for giving us Jesus the ‘greatest giver of love’ to ever hit the planet earth. Ref. John 3:16.. “for God So Loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son,” This Love given to all the then and now believers
the Father gave Him, to receive unmerited grace and mercy, meted out by the Holy Spirit, according to the believers faith! All of God’s foreknown received into their lives, this awesome phenomenon for all of life’s situations whether large or small,
and all consequently due to, ‘The Greatest Love’.
Allow me to pen this footnote: no matter what I pen to these hallowed out pages, I will never be able to totally and adequately
describe how Great is the LOVE of this One we call JESUS CHRIST!
