Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressons,he was bruised for our iniquities:the chastisement of our peace was upon him;and with his stripes we are healed."
When Jesus suffered and died on Calvery's cross,the sin of the entire world hung on his shoulders.This weight He carried,we are not designed to carry.Jesus suffered enormously so that we might be saved from "the sin that so easily entangles us"and be able to run the race he has set before us easier each day,that one day we might be with him in all his Glory.
Jesus allowed his flesh to be crushed,ripped,and torn.He suffered and died a gruesome death.He was the subsitute for our punishment,our crimes,but he was punished, that we
might be made whole, might become the righteousness of God, through his suffering.It was our sins that pressed the crown of thorns on his head,that slapped him,spitt on him ,mocked him,wounded Him in the side,and drove nails into his hands and feet.It's His bruises that bring healing to all who will surrender their lives into the Masters hands.
Because of Jesus death,lost sinners can find their way back to the Heavenly Father again. Jesus,our mighty hero who poured out his life, and his blood,for us and hung on a cross between two criminals,was no criminal himself.He was just our gentle Savior, who died for us and now intercedes for us in Heaven.God now looks upon all who have truly committed their lives to Him, through lenses stained with the blood of Jesus Christ,and where there once stood a sinner,there now stands a saint washed in the blood of the Lamb.THANK YOU JESUS
I don't know why Jesus loved me,I don't know why he even cared,I don't know why he sacrificed his life ,oh but I'm glad, so glad he did.
