EVIDENCE YOUR LOVE

Matt. 28:1
After the Sabbath ended, at the first light of dawn on the first day of the week, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb.
To win in a legal battle or an argument, you must be able to provide incontrovertible
proof that will swing judgment in your favour, in the same way, the love for anyone
must be evidenced in action not by rhetoric, for example
John 3:16 says
For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So
now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.
Love is an active expression, not an assumption or by word.
Rom.5:8
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were
still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
Even though we were in a damaged and unloveable state, yet God showed us how
much He loved us by sacrificing His Son so we can be repaired so can access His
presence. And since love is a two way street, and unexciting if only one of the party is
fully engaged, what is the evidence of your love for Jesus?
In our memory verse above, we found two ladies, one of them delivered from seven
demons that had made her body their abode, who could not wait till daylight to visit
the tomb of their Lord, and they did not go empty handed, they went to perfume His
dead body!
What is the evidence that you love Him, how faithfully are you seeking Him, do you
serve Him because of Him or because of what you stand to benefit?
As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ today, it is a great time to start
showing concrete evidence of your love towards Him, by living your life for and in Him,
like Apostle Paul
Phil.1:21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Happy Easter!
