Jesus on the Cross

As I read a devotional this morning it made me think about Easter and remember what Jesus did for us these words came to mind.

As Jesus was hanging on the cross people were mocking Him, shouting at Him ‘Let Him come down from the cross then we will believe’, ‘He trusts in God, let God deliver Him’………..

Jesus had done nothing wrong, He had loved people, healed them, blessed them, raised Lazarus from the dead. He is the Son of God, nailed to a cross. People mocking Him. They didn’t realise who He was. They didn’t understand the scriptures. All the prophesies about Him, and there were so many, all came true, even down to the one that says He will ride into Jerusalem on a donkey. But, this had to happen, had been foretold. This is what Jesus came for, no one could save us except Him, we couldn’t save ourselves, only the sinless spotless lamb of God could save us. And He did.

He died an agonising death with nails in His hands and feet, a crown of thorns pierced His head and he hung there, bruised, beaten, bleeding. The Son of God, for you and for me. All for you and me. The agony and the pain He went through. The sinless lamb of God.

He loves us this much. He wants us to be in His Kingdom for eternity. He doesn’t want anyone to be lost forever. He wants you with Him for ever, not lost but with Him. Anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. 

Think about it. Just think about what Jesus did and make up your mind if He was bad, mad, or the sinless spotless lamb of God. The saviour of the world, Jesus Christ Gods only son who came to save you from an eternity without Him. He loves you that much
