“Life without purpose is empty, futile, and hopeless.”
What is the most painful part of Jesus’
suffering?
Christ forgave even as he was tortured and killed. That’s the ultimate
example of love.
Jesus
took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the
prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32He will be handed
over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and
kill him. 33On the third day he will rise again.” Luke 18:31-33
Surely
he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows,yet we considered him
stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our
transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;the punishment that brought
us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep,
have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid
on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6
Just as the
Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.” Matthew
20:28
He is the
atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of
the whole world. 1 John
2:2
In him we have
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the
riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding Ephesians 1:7-8
This is love:
not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning
sacrifice for our sins 1
John 4:10
By the cross we know the gravity of sin and the greatness of God’s love
towards us.
Greater love
has no one than this that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my
friends if you do what I command. John 15:13-14
Be
wise today and always – remember the price paid by Christ.
