This Friday, many will observe Valentine’s Day, celebrated every year on February 14. It provides an opportunity to show affection by sending cards or flowers. Some believe the first Valentine’s Day took place in 496. A.D. It’s a day of loving. But the greatest of all love stories took place when Christ gave His life for mankind on a cross. Paul wrote in the New Testament, “God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Why did He do that? Because we are all sinners, and unable to earn our way to heaven. We are also told that a right relationship with God does not come “… by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy.” Calvary was God’s Valentine’s message for us.
