You are the God who loved us before we ever thought of you, whose love is the very Source of all our life in you and obedience to you. You are the God who took our sins upon yourself and died for us.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior, have mercy us sinners.
Jesus.
He offered Himself for us. His heart was opened for each one of us on the Cross, and His heart remains open, calling out to us.
He longs for each of us, and His desire to be with us pours out like a flood through all of history, to every time and place, from that moment when He dies on the Cross for our sins.
He does not withhold His love from us because of our sins. His love is here for us and offered to us who are sinners, so that we can be changed by it and saved by it.
On the Cross Jesus wants to win our love, by giving Himself totally for us.
