Love Drove Him - God's Sacrificial Grace

SUMMARY: In 1728, Count Zinzendorf started the tradition of daily "Watchwords" or "Losungen" with a message about Jesus' sacrifice for us out of love. Dios Habla Hoy continues this tradition by offering daily reflections and Bible verses to encourage conversations with God and other believers. The verses from Jeremiah and Titus remind us of God's love and grace towards us, and we should give thanks for the moments that remind us of this grace in our lives. We should also share God's love with those around us and strive to live lives that reflect his goodness.

On the evening of May 3, 1728, Count Zinzendorf shared a brief message with the Herrnhut community that would kick off the tradition of daily "Watchwords" or "Losungen." The message was inspired by the verse of the song "Love drove him, love tore him from the throne, and shouldn't I love him?" It is a reminder of the great sacrifice that Jesus made out of love for us, leaving His heavenly throne to come to earth and die for our sins.

Zinzendorf called the daily watchwords "continuous conversations of our Savior with the community." Dios Habla Hoy stands on the spiritual shoulders of Count von Zinzendorf and the Moravian community. Each morning we offer the reflection and two Bible verses as a starting point to encourage daily reflection and conversation with our Savior and with like-minded believers around the world.
