Week 11 Devo – THURSDAY

Come, Lord Jesus

Have you ever wondered, “How big is God’s love? How wide is His mercy?” Revelation 5 gives us a little glimpse at the scope of God’s heart for the world. It says that Jesus was slaughtered (v. 9). According to the book of Romans, the Cross is God’s love on display (5:8). That shows us the depth of God’s love, but not the width.

The width is seen in whom He died for – “[Jesus] purchased people for God by [His] blood from every tribe and language and people and nation” (v. 9). So God loves you; He loves people who are like you; and He loves those who are not like you, too. He loves the world. May we receive God’s love ourselves, and may we extend God’s love to all people, everywhere.

How can you imitate God’s love for all people?
