Andrew Womack's devotional for today says this:
God's Great Love For Us
John 10:25 'Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed
not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.'
There were many ways in which Jesus already revealed who He
was. His miraculous works certainly revealed who He was. Jesus had also clearly
revealed that He was the Christ, both in the synagogue at His hometown of
Nazareth, and when speaking to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.
Jesus, in His pre-existent state, was in the form of God.
'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God'
(John 1:1).
Jesus was God, manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). However,
Jesus did not demand or cling to His rights as God, but laid aside His Divine
rights and privileges in order to take the form of a servant and be made in the
likeness of men. He further humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the Father,
even to the point of death.
This was the supreme sacrifice that identified Jesus totally
with humanity and enabled God to redeem mankind. By dying a criminal's death
upon the cross, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy in Deuteronomy 21:23
and bore our curse in His own body. This redeemed us from that curse and opened
wide God's blessing of justification through faith in Christ and the promise of
His Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:13-14).
Jesus left His state of being recognized and worshipped by
all the hosts of heaven as the Supreme God to become a man who was despised and
rejected. The Creator became the creation; the Lord became the servant; the
Highest became the lowest. All of this was done because of God's great love for
us.
There IS no greater LOVE than THIS! NO ONE will ever love you more than JESUS DOES! And HE will NEVER love you less! Here is Chris Tomlin with "Our God":
Shalom in Him!
