From Splendor To The Cross

The crucifixion of Christ was the greatest injustice ever committed, but it wasn’t in vain.

Romans 5:8-9 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Jesus left the splendor of heaven, came robed in flesh to purchase our redemption. He knew by submitting to the cross that He was fulfilling His Father’s will. He was aware of why He came. Isn’t it amazing that He came at all, knowing what was in store?

Jesus came to earth as a Sin Sacrifice for all. He  doesn’t see folks as we do. He doesn’t see a worthless addict, an abusive spouse, or a convicted felon; he sees a soul in need of salvation. I’m glad He saw me. I’m glad I believed on Him. I’m glad by His grace He keeps me saved, because I’m not perfect.
