The Savior’s Heart Revealed

All these words Jesus spoke from the cross reveal the heart of God—the great heart of Jesus. The cross and these words teach us that when He died and bowed His head, He accomplished His sacrifice to save us from our sin. He came to seek and to save that which was lost.
Karl Barth, one of the greatest theological minds of the twentieth century, was once asked by seminary students: “What is the most profound, prolific thought that has ever entered your mind?” They expected something magnificent from this great scholar. He said, “The greatest thought that’s ever entered my mind is this: Jesus loves me; this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” So profound that a theologian would praise it, yet simple enough that a child can understand it.
This is the love of Jesus Christ! Anyone can be saved at the cross, because the Bible tells us Jesus died for all. Reject any ideology or theology that tells you Jesus only died for some—only the select or the elect. No! The Bible tells us He died for the sins of the whole world. No one is excluded. Everyone is included. The great heart of our God and Savior Jesus Christ welcomes all. We have been won by His love.
