What happened that day when the Lord Jesus died on the cross at Calvary some 2,000 years ago? It altered the future for every person who places their faith in Christ Jesus.
You and I can’t begin to imagine the pain that Jesus was forced to endure for our sakes. He was Scourged – (Matt. 27:26), beaten – (Luke 22:63-64), and spit on – (Matt. 27:30}. His beard was plucked from His face –(Isa. 50:6). He was. mocked – (Matt. 27:26-29) and stripped naked – (Matt. 27:35), and nailed to the Cross – (Matt. 27:38; John 20:25).
The cross is God's statement of love to the world –(John 15:13). His blood has the power to change every life touched by it. There really is wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb.
Romans 5:8-10 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. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
