Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional July 14 2020 – TANK FULL OF LOVE
For the love of Christ compels us… He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Recommended Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:12-15
A Russian soldier, Lieutenant Denis Kazantsev, and his fellow soldiers were driving their tanks through a training area outside Moscow when suddenly sixteen of the T-72B3 tanks broke ranks. They executed a maneuver that formed a giant heart. Kazantsev then climbed out of his tank, guided his girlfriend into the center, knelt on one knee, and proposed. The event made the news on Russian television.[1]
Love is a great thing, but it’s only good when it’s demonstrated. We all try to find creative ways of sharing our love with those closest to us. But no one could ever offer a display of love as Jesus did on Calvary. The cross is the greatest symbol of love the world has ever seen—far greater than a heart, a candle, a hug, or a love letter.
His love becomes our motivation for serving others. We don’t have to have a tank to express our love to others. Just a tank full of love.
The love of Christ influences every decision we make and everything we do; His love becomes our way of life and not mere emotion.
