I heard a story once about a farmer who had a fire on his farm, and the next day he went to assess the damage. As he walked in the field, he saw something dark and thought it was someone\u2019s old jacket that had got burnt in the fire, so he kicked it, and out ran a bunch of baby chicks. He was shocked, and he realized that he had kicked the mother hen who had protected her babies from being burnt in the fire. She had allowed herself to be burnt to death so that her babies could survive. There is no greater love than that. No greater love in the whole world than that. Would you do that for someone else?<\/p>\n

That is the kind of love of Jesus has for us. Jesus died for us. He suffered such terrible pain and torture so that we can be saved by faith in his sacrifice on our behalf. Don\u2019t turn Jesus away beloved, receive him now as your Saviour.<\/p>\n

Luke also mentions Jesus mourning over Jerusalem: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a\u00a0hen<\/strong>\u00a0doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! (Luke 13:34).<\/p>\n
