Our FATHER in Heaven knows that we cannot live perfect lives, try as we might.
Throughout the old Testament, we read constantly about the sinning ways of all of humanity. Despite the Israelites having been led out of captivity from Egypt by a messenger from GOD, they continued to disbelieve and sin.
GOD therefore put HIS perfect plan into place and that required that blood be shed to absolve us all from our sins.
Jesus was the perfect, unblemished lamb. And to fulfil the old Testament prophecy recorded in Isaiah, Jesus was to be crucified. No bones would be broken. He would be pierced for our transgressions, and His clothing would be kept in one piece.
All of this was fulfilled. And when it was done, Jesus asked GOD to forgive those who had caused this terrible suffering and subsequent death.
When I read this, I am filled with such sadness. Jesus died for you and for me.
Jesus suffered for you and for me. Jesus is the only Truth, the only Way and the Only life. And all of this for you and for me.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for Jesus and for YOUR grace in sending Jesus to save a wretch like me from my sins. FATHER forgive me as I forgive all those who sin against me. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truthfully Jesus blessed today!
