Jesus Loves Us; The Bible Tells Us So – Sunday Thought For The Day

One Sunday morning as I was preparing for church, I heard a hymn that I sang as a child.  The hymn was: “Jesus Loves Me.”  You’re no doubt familiar with it too.  “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so; little ones to Him belong, they are weak, but He is strong.”

As I listened to the instrumental version of the children’s hymn, I thought to myself that millions upon millions of children, (myself included), have sang that wonderful. I thought of the over 70 million children in America alone, who were denied the opportunity to sing praise to God as they lifted their voices to heaven with the chorus: “Yes, Jesus loves!  Yes, Jesus loves me!  Yes, Jesus loves me; the Bible tells me so.”

I thought of the nearly incalculable millions of children, the world over, who have been murdered by abortion, and thus were never given the opportunity to sing those praises to God here on earth.

I thought to myself: every one of those murdered unborn children are singing praises to God face-to-face in glory. Their tiny limbs and bodies are restored, and they’re not just experiencing the love they were denied here on Earth, but they’re experiencing the love of Jesus in a way those who are responsible for their deaths will never know if they do not repent of their wickedness and turn to Christ for salvation.

Children who have been murdered by abortion are in heaven with the Lord the moment life leaves them, whether in the womb or partially out of it; because they have not reached their age of accountability.

But, what about their parents and the doctors responsible for killing them?  The fact is, there’s
hope and there’s forgiveness for them if they seek it.  Imagine being able to join unborn children who have been made whole and who sing praises to our Holy God in heaven.  Not as their killers, but as a person who’s sin is forgiven.

Yes, Jesus loves us, and yes we know; because the Bible tells us so!  And, He loves us enough to forgive us our sins, if we repent, confess our sins, and turn to Him for forgiveness.

Now, that’s a song worth singing.

1 John 1:8-2:2 (KJV)

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

   2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
