Long before time began, Jesus was already representing His people before God. From eternity, He agreed to pay the price with His blood, matching suffering with suffering and death with death for us. From eternity, He offered Himself willingly, enduring agony, mockery, and the weight of death.
Jesus has been our Surety from everlasting. Let your heart marvel! As Jesus loved you before you were born, His love for humanity was present even before creation. He thought of us often, setting His affection on us from eternity.
Has He prepared for your salvation from everlasting, and won't complete it? Would He hold you as a treasure only to lose you now? He chose you before the earth's foundation, and He won't reject you now. It's inconceivable. His enduring love proves He's unchanging.
If He could have tired of you, it would have happened long ago. His love, deep as the grave and strong as death, remains steadfast. What joy to know you're His eternal inheritance, given by the Father. Tonight, rest your head on everlasting love.
Closing Prayer
Father, as evening comes, fill us with Your love so we can share it freely. In Jesus' name, Amen.
