Devotional
In the hours before His crucifixion, Jesus’s heart wasn’t focused on His own impending suffering. Instead, He was thinking about you and me. This profound truth reveals the depth of God’s love for us. Even in His darkest hour, Jesus demonstrated what perfect fatherhood looks like – selfless, caring, and completely focused on His children’s wellbeing. This wasn’t just a moment of spiritual leadership; it was a glimpse into the heart of our Heavenly Father. When we truly understand that we are loved this deeply, it changes everything about how we view our relationship with God. We’re not just followers or servants; we’re beloved children of a perfect Father who thinks about us even in His most challenging moments.
