Jesus bore our sins. What an amazing truth. Scripture says that Jesus bore our sins in his body so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.
The weight of the world’s sin was placed on the shoulders of Christ Jesus. All the rape, all the murder, all the hate, all the greed, all the lust, all the fear, all the oppression, all the pride, all the selfishness, all of it’s weight was placed upon the back of Christ on the cross. The shame, the guilt, and righteous judgment were all placed on Jesus. But there was no deceit ever found in him. Jesus didn’t have to bear my sin. He chose to. He chose to suffer unlike any other man to ever live in order that we might have life! Jesus clearly is the hero of the story of humanity. There are no other heroes in comparison to Christ. What we are incapable of bearing, God has chosen to bear it for us, out of his great love for us.
Thank you Jesus,
