As we enter the thanksgiving season, I am thankful for the work that Jesus did on the Cross! That He took my sin upon Himself and went to The Cross in my place. Took the punishment that I deserved. I can not thank Him enough for that. I owe my life to Him!
1 Peter 2:24 Amplified Bible
24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed.
I've been a sinner on the crosses beside Jesus. On the one side, I was filled with regret and guilt of things that I had done in the past. On the other side, one who wanted to fight and do things my way. Thinking I could never be forgiven. Boy was I wrong!
The Man on The Middle Cross was the answer! He paid the price for me. I am overwhelmed by grace because of what He did for me. He didn't have too. He didn't have to take the beating, the scourging, carrying The Cross along the Via Dolorosa, to Golgotha. He did it because of His love for us!
Romans 5:8 New Living Translation
8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
He went to the Cross for us, but He didn't stay there. He rose up out of the grave three days later. With that, He raised me to life with Him! His mercy is poured out on us! Thank You Jesus!
Remember, The Man on the middle Cross wasn't a regular Joe!
He was the flesh of God, a lightning rod, The Bread of Life. He created all things. He is the King of Kings!
So I encourage you tonight. Give thanks to The Man On The Middle Cross. For everything that He has done for you!
God bless.
Rev. Kev.
