JESUS OUR SUBSTITUTE

 

                          JESUS OUR SUBSTITUTE

Jesus, stood with dignity in the courts of evil men. His accusers judged Him death Him a death sentence He had had not earned; Jesus’ posture   as He was accused and condemned revealed that He willingly died for the sake of all. The people who judged Jesus failed to recognize that the One they accused and condemned was actually their Judge.  Jesus was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering. He was not a victim, but surrendered Himself willing to endure a death He did not deserve.

Jesus’ accomplishment was amazing for those who accept Him for salvation. The Son of God was judged guilty, although He was innocent. Thank God, that Jesus took our place, every believer stands before God, and though guilty, is declared innocent.

Jesus was our substitute; He did this because He loves us. For He hath made him to STAND in for us who knew so sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Jesus died for all.

People who does not recognize God’s and fail to turn to Jesus as our substitute must bear the weight of their down judgment. There are only two ways that sin’s deserved penalty can be paid. Jesus is the only acceptable sacrifice for sin.

Jesus was betrayed by Judas, denied by Peter, and deserted by His own disciples. The religious leaders whom God charged to oversee the faith of His people did not recognize the Messiah and opposed Him. Pilate believed Jesus was innocent and still turned Him  over for crucifixion.  Not a one stood on the side of the truth. Jesus endured arrest, false accusations, and unjust treatments to redeemed mankind.  He willingly suffered for the entire world. A choice must be made you are either for Him or against Him.  The choice bears eternal consequences. Be blessed Dr. Annie Eskridge 4/16/22
