“Above all, maintain constant
love for one another, for love covers a multitude of
sins.”
(I Peter
4:8)
Victor Hugo once wrote,
“The greatest
happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or
rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” That is the great good news of the
gospel…For God so loved the world that he
gave his one and only Son… It is
that love that covers a multitude of sins…mine and
yours.
The cross of Christ is the evidence
of that love. Isaac Watts, in the second
verse of his great hymn, “When I Survey
The Wondrous Cross, writes, “See
from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er
such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown?” Yes, love covers a multitude of sins, and
yes, thank God for the cross.
Prayer: Thank you Lord, for covering my sin
with your love. Thank you for the
cross.
Amen.
