Just Jesus #253

John Owen said, “We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.”

This is Daniel Whyte III with Just Jesus, a podcast designed to celebrate the birth, life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, the impact He has on the world, and the salvation He offers for all people. This is episode #253. The aim of this podcast is to encourage you to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to begin to live your life according to His Word.

Our Just Jesus passage from the Word of God today is Hebrews 13:8 which reads: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

Our featured Just Jesus quote today is from Jerry Bridges. He said, "The extent of God’s love at Calvary is seen in both the infinite cost to Him of giving His one and only Son Jesus Christ, and in the wretched and miserable condition of those He loved. God could not remove our sins without an infinite cost to both Himself and His Son. And because of their great love for us, both were willing—yes, more than merely willing—to pay that great cost, the Father in giving His one and only Son, and the Son in laying down His life for us. One of the essential characteristics of love is the element of self-sacrifice, and this was demonstrated for us to its ultimate in God’s love at Calvary."
