Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” On the cross Jesus received the punishment our sins deserved. As the perfect God – man, He alone was in a position to do that. Jesus stood in the chasm between God and man, which was created by our sins, and brought us back together by His blood. As horrible as the physical agony must have been, the spiritual agony of this transformation and punishment was worse. No wonder He scream out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus was deserted by God so that you and I never have to be. That’s the second fact you need to know. Jesus took your place cross and bore the terrible brunt of the sentence God could have imposed on you. It was you that should have been on the cross.
Jesus died for you. Take it personally. It’s still a mystery how death of one righteous Man – the only righteous Man – pays for the sins of the world. Still, though we may not understand it, we can depend upon it for our salvation. It is the only way to have peace with God and eternal life. We must go through the cross. It’s fitting that God took the cross of Christ – the single darkest hour in the history of humanity – and turned it into the bridge that leads to redemption for all people everywhere. That is the kind of God the Bible talks about. From Genesis through Revelation it speaks of God who loves you so very much He would even die on a cross for you.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
I will take this verse and place my name in it…example…. you might try it…. It’s Personal remember?
For God so loved Don that He gave His one and only Son, If Don believes in Him, Don shall not perish but have eternal life. AMEN
