HE TOOK OUR PLACE

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 KJV

Philip Paul Bliss wrote “HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR”.  Every time I sing this or hear this beautiful hymn, I am reminded of how much our Saviour loves us. “Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood; Sealed my pardon with His blood. “Hallelujah! What a Savior!”

Do you realize how much Jesus loves you?  He allowed them to spit on Him, curse Him, mock Him, beat Him beyond recognition and crucify Him on the cross because He loves you.  What kind of love is this?  This is an unconditional love that can only come from the heart of our Saviour.  O how Jesus loves you.

Think about it.  Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth to die on the cross for you so you can be saved and go to Heaven.  God did not make Jesus come to earth to die for us.  Jesus came because He loves us.  Jesus, the Saviour of the world, loves you and He will always love you.

No matter how many times we hurt Him, He still loves us.  He loved us yesterday.  He loves us today and He will love us forever.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  All hail, King Jesus!  Worthy is the Lamb of God!  Please join me in praising the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”!

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Jesus.  Not only was His heart broken when He died on the cross, Your heart was also broken when He died.  I love You, precious Heavenly Father.  Thank You for adopting me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
