Christ took away our sins. He endured not just the nails of the Romans, the mockery of the crowd, and the spear of the soldier, but he endured the anger of God! God didn’t overlook our sins, lest he endorse them. He didn’t punish you lest he destroy you. He instead found a way to punish the sin and preserve the sinner. Jesus took our punishment, and God gave us credit for Jesus’ perfection.
As long as the cross is God’s gift to the world, it will touch you but it will not change you. We have to embrace it and put our Faith in HIM and accept that He died for our since and through Him there is life. Precious as it is to proclaim, “Christ died for the world,” even sweeter it is to whisper, “Christ died for me !”
For my sins he died. He took my place on the cross. He felt my shame and spoke my name. Thank God for the day Jesus took our place, for the day that grace happened to you!
