Jesus continually expresses His love for us. It wasn't a one time deal at the cross, though clearly that action as He hung on Calvary's cross was the expression of His love like no other. However, just because He has gone into the heavenly realms and now sits at the right hand of the Father until His enemies are made His footstool (Psalm 110; Luke 20; Hebrews 10), does not mean that His love for His own is no longer seen in the way He cares for His own. He didn't change His demeanor toward us because He is now again exalted in heaven. He. Loves. Us.
