Yes, Jesus Loves Me

If you ever went to church as a child you probably were taught the song, "Jesus Loves Me." Just in case you may not know it or have forgotten the words let me tell you of them:

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

It's amazing how we sometimes miss the marvelous nature of that chorus because it's a song for children. But what a great hope comes from hearing the words, "Yes, Jesus loves me." Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sin and not only that but to show us His very own love for you and me.


Christ loved us and gave Himself for us, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:2)
Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. (Ephesians 5:25)
[He] loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)


Jesus loves me personally. What an amazing thought. The Beginning and the End, the I AM, the Son of the living God, the Word that became flesh, the King above all kings and the Lord above all lords LOVES ME. No matter my past or my present Jesus loves me unconditionally.


You may ask if you are included in this and the answer is simple.


Because we were weak in our efforts to get out from God's wrath Jesus was willing to be beaten, mocked, nailed to a cross and put in a tomb all for His limitless love for you. Whenever you start to feel lonely, unloved or in need of some encouragement just begin to sing,

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
