Can you imagine having long iron spikes driven through your hands and feet and hanging on a cross for six hours after being beaten and whipped? We can't begin to comprehend the pain that Jesus endured on Calvary’s cross to atone for the sins of the world.
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.
Why did Jesus endure such agony? Why did He die? To show the love of God to lost sinners. To save those who believe on Him.
I just can’t leave Jesus hanging on the cross. The good news is that three days later He arose from the dead. He is risen. He is risen indeed.
