Each step the Lord
took on His way to Calvary, He took with us in mind. Every agonizing moment He endured for
us. He understood our need for a Savior
and that He was the only one who could do it.
He knew that no one would understand what He was doing until
afterwards. He knew the capability of
man to do harm, but faced it boldly and without complaining for us. He knew that what He was about to go through
was not for anything He had done, but was for what we had done. Jesus knew each step He took that His death
was needed for our freedom.
All of us deserve to walk the walk that
Jesus did. We all deserve to die for our
sins. Not a one of us can claim to not
have a sin problem. All of us have
determined in our hearts to go our own way and do our own thing. Only Jesus can claim to have perfectly
followed God’s will. Only Jesus lived a
sinless life. Yet, it was Jesus who died
for sin, not us.
Everything Jesus
endured as He died for our sins was so that we could have peace with God, a
peace that would never go away. He was a
willing participant in God’s plan. He
let our Father put all of our sins on himself, even though He knew no sin. All of our sin, guilt and shame became His.
Let us today humble
our hearts before Him and admit that it was for our sins He died. Let us thank Him for doing what we could not
do, satisfy God’s demand for justice against sin. Let us thank Him today for freeing us from
sin’s death penalty and giving us life in fellowship with God. Let us worship Him today for He alone is
worthy of worship, honor, glory, and praise.
