The Sacrifice

Jesus could have refused the cross. His flesh certainly dreaded it. But He willingly embraced the suffering to purchase our redemption.

John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this cause came I unto this hour.

We are all born in sin and face the curse of death, thanks to Adam. As Jesus offered Himself for the atoning sacrifice and then rose triumphantly from the grave, He forever defeated sin, death, and hell. Satan was powerless to stop the plan of God for redemption. 

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen: and have the keys of hell and of death.

Christ proved His love for us at Calvary. Are you serving Him in a way that He deserves, seeking to honor Him with your life?

If you don't know Him, ask Him to come into your heart and forgive your sins. He will if you believe.
