Our Sin Substitute

God looked away from the Son of His love when He became our sin-substitute, taking the sin and guilt upon Himself in our stead. It was then that He was heard to scream out in bitter anguish: MY GOD MY GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME' Oh yes, Jesus endured the cross, was made a curse for us, and felt the full flood of God's righteous wrath upon Him - for our sins. Praise His holy name.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, when we consider the enormity of what Christ did for us at Calvary.. we cannot begin to comprehend what it meant for Him to be separated from You, as He took the full force of Your justified wrath upon Himself, on account of our sins and bore the full weight of our transgressions and guilt upon His sinless shoulders. Our hearts will always be thankful and we pray that we may show forth our thanks and love, not only with our lips but in our lives, by presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice unto You and giving up ourselves to Your service - this we pray in Jesus name, AMEN.
