BOB STOPPED playing and ran to his mother. “Does Jesus really love me?” he asked.
“Yes, dear, He loves you very much,” answered Mother.
“Does He love me more than you do?”
“Yes,” replied Mother. “I have not died for you, but Jesus died to take away all your sins.”
Hiding his face in his hands, Bob cried, “Then I love Him, I really love Him.”
After that when Bob talked to his friends about the Lord Jesus he would say, “Jesus loves you, but do you love Him back again?”
“We love Him, because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19.
I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree.
