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
