Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved
his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. (John 13:1 ESV)
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
(John 11:5 ESV)
And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow
me.” (Mark 10:21 ESV)
It is Evident
that Jesus Loves Some People
For you formed my inward parts;you knitted me together in my
mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13 ESV)
Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The LORD called me
from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.
(Isaiah 49:1 ESV)
Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet
to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:4-5 ESV)
1. He loves me because He made me
For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared
beforehand, that we should walk in
them. (Ephesians 2:10 ESV)
We can ALL be His workmanship,
with God’s fingerprints all
over us
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. [2] For the
law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus
from the law of sin and death. [3] For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the
flesh, (Romans 8:1-3 ESV)
1. He loves me because He made me
2. …because of MY need
Why will you still be struck down?Why will you
continue to rebel?The whole head is
sick,and the
whole heart faint. (Isaiah 1:5 ESV)
Sin makes us head sick and heart faint, and we ALL sin. Romans 3:23
There is therefore now no
condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1 ESV)
In Christ Jesus, no condemnation!
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israelafter those days,
declares the Lord:I will put my laws into
their minds,and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,and they shall be
my people. (Hebrews 8:10 ESV)
1. He loves me because He made me
2. …because of MY need
3. …because of what He can do with
me
I am a page for Him to write upon
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say
to its molder, “Why have you made me like
this?” [21] Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and
another for dishonorable use?
(Romans 9:20-21 ESV)
I am clay He can mold for His purpose
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a
stand, so that those who enter may see
the light. …[35] Therefore be
careful lest the light in you be darkness. (Luke 11:33-35 ESV)
I am a life to reflect His light
Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and
clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.
[21] Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is
dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready
for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:20-21 ESV)
I am a vessel He can use for His work
…God of all comfort, [4] who comforts us in
all our affliction, so that we may be able to
comfort those who are in any affliction, with
the comfort with which we ourselves are
comforted by God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ESV)
I am an intern for God’s model
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all
that we ask or think, according to the power at work
within us, (Ephesians 3:20 ESV)
What can He do with
a page, some clay,
a life, a vessel,
or a willing intern?
…who saved us and called us to a holy
calling, not because of our
works but because of his own
purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the
ages began, (2 Timothy 1:9 ESV)
1. He loves me because He made me
2. …because of MY need
3. …because of what He can do with
me
4. …because of HIS
purpose
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O LORD, endures
forever.Do not
forsake the work of your hands.
(Psalm 138:8 ESV)
David perceived that even as a sinner, God could fulfill His purpose in a man
This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our
Lord, (Ephesians 3:11 ESV)
God’s purpose is Christ in us.
Pay careful attention to
yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made
you overseers, to care for the
church of God, which he
obtained with his own blood.
(Acts 20:28 ESV)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, (Ephesians 1:3 ESV)
Why would God love me?•Because He made
me•Because of my need•Because of what He
can do with me•Because of His
purpose
…what is man that you are mindful of him,and the son of man that you care for him?
[5] Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. [6] You have given him dominion over the
works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, [7] all sheep and oxen, and also
the beasts of the field, [8] the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
[9] O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!
(Psalm 8:4-9 ESV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
(John 3:16 ESV)
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, [13] who
were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but
of God. (John 1:12-13 ESV)
