Jesus’ love is steadfast, consistent, and reliable. His love was present in His ministry years, at the cross, and His post-ascension presence at the Father’s right hand. This is the love of Christ for His own people, a special love for His own sheep and for those whom the Father has given to Him. The Lord’s love for His own continues down to this very day through His priesthood, His prayers, and His pastoral care. May the love of Christ wise up our hearts to trust and obey Him with a whole heart.
