“. . . he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped and we were healed!”
(Isaiah 53:5 (NLT))
Nothing comes without a price!
Have you truly stopped to reflect on the great price that Jesus willingly paid in order to save us from our sins? Have you thought about how you would attempt to pay the price for yourself? It is impossible for us to pay the price for our own sins. We are guilty of far too many to even stop to think about. Multiply that by the number of people who have or will ever live and you begin to see the magnitude of the weight of the sins of the world. It is a burden that no man can bear.
At this time of year when Easter approaches, it is necessary to remember that Jesus was not simply a man.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
(John 1:1-5 (NIV))
This does not sound like a simple man. Just as John said, Jesus was with God because He was God.
Only God could save us from our sins. Think about the pain and suffering that He endured in order to give you salvation.
Nothing comes without a price! Either you try to pay it yourself or you allow God to pay it for you.
This is what the gift of the cross means!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
(John 16:33 (NIV))
What has happened to the human race?
With what is happening all around the world and with what just happened in this country, what is going on that is driving people to act in such a manner? Regardless of what you think of the lifestyle of the victims, they were children of God and He loves them just as much as He loves those of His children who profess a faith in Jesus. In fact, it is for these people, and all sinners in general, that Jesus came into the world.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 3:23 (NIV))
He came to offer a way out of sin. He came to offer mercy and grace.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
(John 3:16 (NIV))
You never know when the world will take your life. You never know if the breath that you take will be your last. You never know when the moment will be too late!
Don’t wait until it is too late.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:2 (NIV))
Turn your eyes upon Jesus!
