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 53:5
King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a heart touching inspiring hymn about our precious Saviour "It Is Finished".

"There’s a line that’s been drawn through the ages; On that line stands an old rugged cross. On that cross a battle is raging For the gain of man’s soul or its loss.
On one side march the forces of evil, All the demons and devils of hell; On the other the angels of glory, And they meet on Golgotha’s hill.

The earth shakes with the force of the conflict; The sun refuses to shine, For there hangs God’s Son in the balance, And then through the darkness He cries—
It is finished! The battle is over. It is finished! There’ll be no more war. It is finished!  The end of the conflict. It is finished! And Jesus is Lord."

Yes, it was for you and it was for me that nails were pounded into our Saviour's hands. It was for us that He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, curse Him and mock Him.

I have said this countless times and I will say it until I die. No one loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will. O how I love Jesus. He is the Joy of my heart, the reason I'm living and the reason I get out of bed when I am in pain.

Do you understand yet that Jesus loves you and that He loves you unconditionally? Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that you are loved by the Saviour of the world? Please lift your heart and your voice and join me in praising the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS"
