Can you imagine that you are going to die? Not just die but be beaten, stripped of clothing and to be hung on a cross by nails in your hands. That was the fate that Jesus was going to have happen to him and he still managed to bring hope to this world. Matthew 27:35 says, And when they had crucified Him, they divided His garments among themselves by casting lots.
I don't know about you, but I would have run away and hid. But Jesus No he let all that was written of Him come to be. He stood before a governor and didn't say much to defend himself. Why on earth would some go through all that for themselves, let alone for another person. Why because He loved us so much that he died in a cross for thin sins of the world. he died so that we may have life and that our sins be washed cleansed in the Blood of Christ. 1 peter 2:24 says and He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by His wounds you were healed. How not by this do we not fall at his feet everyday, and worship him for sacrificing His only son to death by the cross. I marvel that people can hear this and not believe and fall and worship him. there hearts must be made of stone or deaf or something. because, when I hear this it makes me want to worship and praise God and kneel at his feet.
So, if you have sins you have committed, I feel this in spirit this is for someone pray for God to forgive you of those sins he dies for on the cross. So, if that is you pray with me right now.
Thank you God for who you are
I pray for right now forgiveness
for I have sinned
by your son dying on the cross
I am forgiven of these sins
I thank you hand Praise you
In Jesus name
Amen
If the above pray for was not for you there is something for you. Because of what Jesus has done for you fall on your knees and worship him for the cross.
Next week I will be talking about at what it means to take up your cross and follow Him, it may take a few days, a week, or a month I do not know.
But to end Jesus does die but is risen and is seated on the throne. Amen
