The Sacrifice

"Oh the Blood of Jesus washes me! Yes the Blood of Jesus shed for me! What a sacrifice! That saved my life! Yes the Blood , it is my victory!" Beautiful lyrics aren't they? What's even more beautiful is the fact that the lyrics are true and prevalent in the lives of believers! When I begin to even think of the sacrifice that was made by Jesus Christ for my sins, it warms my heart and brings tears to my eyes! He loves us so much that He took on each and every one of our sins by Himself so that we could live forever! He lost Himself to gain us! what a wonder He is! Just think of what it took for God Almighty to turn His back on His innocent Son, who was mangled and hanging on a cross just to save our wretched souls! How could you not just want to love on the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit! He loves us so much, we can't even begin to put it in words! God's love is addicting and burns my soul! When I begin to think about what Jesus went through, for all the sins that all of us make each and everyday it makes me want to live my life right! When I feel as though I may be getting ready to make a mistake I begin to imagine my mistake as a strike on Jesus body or the hammer hitting the nail as it went through his wrist and feet! Makes me change my mind, straighten up and go the right way. If we all began to think that way, I believe many of the senseless mistakes we to often make would lessen. People often say look at what Jesus went through for us, referring to the beating He took on for us, but it's much more than that. Jesus became sin itself for us, that's whats the ultimate! For Jesus Christ, the Holy and innocent Son of God to literally become sin itself for us, who more than deserved the punishment that God would have given us if were not for Jesus' sacrifice! What magnificent love that God has lavished upon us! How beautiful! I'm speechless! Jesus was the sacrifice for us all, for those who believe and even those who don't. Mark 14:24 "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many." God Bless!!!
