JESUS NEVER SINNED

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV

Have you ever heard someone say “He deserved to die for what he did”?  Have you ever said that about someone?  Jesus never sinned and He did not deserve to die.  Our precious Saviour was spat on, cursed, mocked, rejected, beaten beyond recognition and nailed to the cross and He had never sinned.

I write about the love of Jesus many times in my devotions and it is because nobody loves us like Jesus loves us and nobody ever will.  He deserves to be praised, adored, honored, loved and respected.  He is the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”!  One day we will see Him face to face.  What a happy day!

We read in the Bible.  “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12).  Carrie E. Beck wrote a beautiful hymn “Face to Face with Christ, My Savior”.  How I long for the day when I will see Him face to face.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much You gave Your beloved Son to die for our sins.  I pray for every person who has not given their heart to Jesus.  May today be the day they invite Jesus into their heart.  Please comfort and encourage all those who are discouraged.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
