What The Lord Jesus Did For Us

 The Lord Jesus not only died to pay the price FOR our sins, but He also died AS us and in the place of us. They were OUR sins, but He bore the punishment for us so that we would never need to be punished for them. As the sinless Son of Man, He paid the full burden-weight of the accumulated sins of the whole world, past, present, and future, and He also identified with all who would believe on Him so that we might reckon ourselves dead TO those sins as we live our Christian life.
 The Lord Jesus condescended to not only die for our sins but take the cruel punishment in His body. He suffered scourging, and lashings, and beatings, and humiliation for us. He was pierced for our rebellion and crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole: spiritually whole. He was whipped so we could be healed from the curse of sin and death and eternal separation from the Father.
 May we never become so familiar with the story of the Cross, that we minimize in our minds just What The Lord Jesus Did For Us: “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus died to pay the price for our sins so that we too may live our lives that are dead to sin and alive to Christ. Thank You that Jesus took the full force of the wrath of God in His body on the tree so that we might die to those sins and live righteously in Christ Jesus. We pray in Jesus' precious name, AMEN.
