Embraced by the Almighty’s Love
From the dawn of time, God had a plan to make us His own, holy and faultless in His eyes. As Ephesians 1:4 so beautifully puts it, “Long ago, even before He made the world, God chose us to be His very own, through what Christ would do for us; He decided then to make us holy in His eyes, without a single fault – we who stand before Him covered with His love.”
A Prophecy Fulfilled
This divine plan was foretold by the great prophets of Israel centuries ago. The Old Testament, written over a period of 1,500 years, contains more than 300 references to the promised Messiah. And remarkably, all of these prophecies have been fulfilled in the birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This is conclusive evidence of God’s personal and supernatural intervention in history.
The Impact of Jesus’ Life
The significance of Jesus’ coming into this world cannot be overstated. As one observer so eloquently put it, “All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that were ever built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together have not affected the life of man upon this earth as has that one solitary life.” Jesus’ life has had a profound impact on human history, and we who trust Him are covered by His love.
A Beautiful Picture
What a beautiful picture – covered with His love! This is not just a feeling or an emotion, but a reality that we can experience every day. As we go about our daily lives, we can rest assured that we are embraced by the arms of the Almighty, His love covering and comforting us.
Action Point
Throughout this day, take a moment to picture yourself in the arms of God, His love covering and comforting you. Share His love and faithfulness with others, and experience the joy of being covered by His love.
