IT WAS FOR US

"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 53:4

King James Version

Rev. William G. J. Ovens wrote the hymn "WOUNDED FOR ME". What a loving and forgiving Saviour we are privileged to know and have.

"Wounded for me, wounded for me, There on the cross He was wounded for me; Gone my transgressions, and now I am free, All because Jesus was wounded for me.

Dying for me, dying for me, There on the cross He was dying for me; Now in His death my redemption I see, All because Jesus was dying for me.

Risen for me, risen for me, Up from the grave He has risen for me; Now evermore from death’s sting I am free, All because Jesus has risen for me."

Yes, it was for us He died. What are we doing for Him? Are we making Him happy or are we breaking His heart? Every one of us need to search our heart and be sure it makes Him happy when He looks in our heart. I love You, dear Jesus.
