The Love of God Revealed in the Tanakh
Before Yeshua walked among us, God’s love for His people was expressed time and again in the Tanakh. Consider these verses:
"The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.'" (Jeremiah 31:3)
This verse is a promise of God's eternal love for Israel, and through Yeshua, it extends to all who call upon His name.
"The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love, He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)
This paints a beautiful picture of God’s tender love and joy over His people—a foreshadowing of the joy Yeshua would bring to all who believe.
"I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion." (Hosea 2:19)
God’s covenant with His people is built on His unwavering love, which is ultimately fulfilled in Yeshua’s redemptive work.
Yeshua: The Fulfillment of God’s Love
Yeshua is the embodiment of God’s love—a love that not only redeems but also invites intimacy with the Creator. He declared:
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." (John 15:13)
Yeshua’s sacrifice on the cross was the ultimate demonstration of love, fulfilling the prophetic words of Isaiah 53 about the Suffering Servant.
But Yeshua’s love wasn’t just about His death; it was evident in His life. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted the brokenhearted, showing that God’s love is practical, compassionate, and life-giving.
Why Does This Matter to You?
The world can feel isolating and cruel, but Yeshua’s love is a constant reminder that you are not alone. The Tanakh reveals that God knows your pain, your struggles, and your longings. As King David wrote:
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)
Yeshua continues this mission of drawing near to those who feel abandoned or unworthy. His love is not conditional; it is freely given to all who turn to Him.
How Can You Experience Yeshua’s Love Today?
1. Seek Him in Prayer
Just as the prophets of old sought God’s guidance, you can seek Yeshua. He promised:
"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)
2. Meditate on His Word
Scripture is filled with promises of God’s love. Let His Word remind you of His faithfulness.
3. Trust in His Sacrifice
The Tanakh taught us the importance of atonement. Yeshua, the ultimate atonement, brings eternal reconciliation with God.
4. Share His Love
Yeshua calls us to love others as He loves us. By reflecting His love, you become a light to the world.
A Final Encouragement
You are deeply loved—by the Creator of the universe, by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and by Yeshua, the promised Messiah. His love is not fleeting; it is everlasting. If you’re feeling far from Him, remember His invitation:
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
No matter where you are in your journey, Yeshua’s arms are open wide, ready to embrace you. This timeless truth is for you: Jesus loves you.
