Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
Today we remember. (Taken from Matthew 27)
We remember...
the betrayal for 30 pieces of silver
the flogging
the crown of thorns
the purple robe
the sign "Hail, King of the Jews!"
the strike on Jesus' face
he crowd shouting "Crucify Him!"
the long walk to Golgotha carrying the cross
the nails in his hands
the nails in his feet
DARKNESS
the words "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
the temple curtain torn in two from top to bottom
the earth trembling
the guards exclaiming "Surely he was the Son of God!"
It wasn't the nails that kept Jesus to the cross. It was His Love- his love for us. God's Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love!
He died for my sin. (and yours)
He Rose to save me from it. (and you from yours)
He is preparing a place for me. (and for you if you ask Him)
He Rose to save me from it. (and you from yours)
He is preparing a place for me. (and for you if you ask Him)
