THE TORTUOUS ROAD TO GOLGOTHA (2)
.... AND THE FRIDAY WAS GOOD
Jesus did not come as a judge, rather, He came to strip man the garment of sin and death and remove the toga of condemnation off his shoulder and break down the middle wall of partition between us and our Maker. He came to pay this wage for us and when on the cross of Calvary, He exclaimed "It is finished " heaven took note that the prize has been fully paid to the last decimal, the earth bore witness of the blood that flowed freely for full atonement.
Howbeit, this is the condemnation; 'that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.' — John 3: 18-19 KJV
As we, therefore, celebrate this Great Redemption, let's celebrate not as onlookers that are being entertained in a game of fun, but as beneficiaries who are celebrating victory over captivity, victory over condemnation, victory over separation and, of course, victory over death.
For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind— Titus 2:11 AMP
Romans 8:1-2 KJV
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
HIS PAINS, OUR GAIN!
Remain Blessed!
