I Stood before the Judge and He stood by me..
It was evident that i was guilty, and so spiteful that i deserved different punishments. The verdict was meted out thus:
On first count : i should be undressed and treated like one who is Insane, but He came and offered me his robe.
On Second count: i should be placed in a place of torment with sickness and pain, but He said NO and took 39 stripes in place of any infirmity i am to bear.
on another Count: thorns should be rained on me to strip off the robe and unveil my shame, but He pleaded, "may her thorns be my crown"...
I was awestruck by this love shown to me which none has or will surpass it.. but the Avenger was undetterd..the final verdict was that i had to die..but He said NO!...Walked past me, with all my burdens,shame and sin carved as a cross and borne on His shoulder. "Who his own self bare our sins on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." 1. Peter.2:24
On that cross, He was nailed to die for me. My feet could bear me no longer,i fell to my knees and cried, "Lord save from me"..and He said,"i already did- Go! and sin no more".
I nailed Him to that cross, Yes.....by my many sins; but since i admitted i did, He forgave me and gave me Grace and His Spirit to live a victorious life even in a fallen world. you too can. Who is HE? He is JESUS. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved". Romans.8:9
For shame, He gave me Glory and Beauty for ashes. Oh what a Boundless Love, that has remained Incomprehensible. He is the reason for the season. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU. God bless you.
