I read these words on a girl’s blog recently: “I just want to be loved—and he has to be amazing!”

Isn’t that what we all want—to be loved, to feel special to someone? And so much the better if he or she is “amazing”!

The person who best fits that description is Jesus. In a display of amazing love, He left His Father in heaven and came to earth as a tiny, helpless baby (LUKE 2). Then, after living a perfect life, He gave His life as a sacrifice on the cross in our place (JOHN 19:17-30). He took our place because we needed to be rescued from our sin and its death penalty. “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (ROM. 5:8). Then three days later, the Father raised Jesus to life again (MATT. 28:1-8).

When we say sorry and give our lives to Jesus, we get to enjoy His amazing love! He becomes our Saviour (JOHN 1:12; ROM. 5:9), Lord (JOHN 13:14), teacher (MATT. 23:8) and friend (JOHN 15:14). “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 JOHN 3:1). Looking for someone to love you? Jesus loves us so much more than anyone else could. And He is truly amazing!
