6 Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people.
7 Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person.
8 Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God’s love for us.
When Jesus Christ was on the cross, He appeared to be helpless.
This was a man who could call 12 legions of angels to come to His rescue,
yet, He was nailed to a cross, and it seemed like he was helpless.
Truly, what can a person whose hands and feet have been nailed to a cross do ?
For example, while Jesus was on the cross, he said, “I’m thirsty” Instead of giving Him water, they gave Him vinegar,
and He could do nothing about it.
This was not because He did not have the power to do whatever He wanted,
but because if He had saved Himself at that time,
you and I would have become preys to the devil.
So, because of His love for us, He was helpless.
He became helpless so that you can be helped.
If you have been washed by the blood of Jesus, you will never lack help, in Jesus’ name.
On the cross, Jesus was lonely.
He cried in Matthew 27:46,
“… My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
He was not even talking about how His disciples forsook Him.
They left Him when He was arrested, but now, even God forsook Him.
That was the biggest heartbreak for Him because there had never been a time when God was not with Him.
However, He went through all that so that God can be with you always.
- He went through that gruelling experience so that you will never be alone and so that whenever you call on God, He will answer you.
Everything that happened at Calvary was sorrowful for Jesus;
you cannot experience such pain and shame and not be sorrowful.
- He, however, put Himself through that sorrow so that you can have joy.
Therefore, if you are truly washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, everything causing you sorrow is banished now, in Jesus’ name.
He did it all for you to have a life that is beyond what this world can give you – eternal life.
The question now is, are you enjoying the benefits of the sacrifice He made for you on the cross ?
Are you truly washed in His blood ?
Are you living your life like Christ ?
The benefits of the sacrifice He paid are only for those who live holy.
Anyone who truly lives holy will experience the benefits of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
I have made up my mind to live holy for the rest of my life, what about you ?
Application – Only those who live holy will enjoy the benefits of Jesus’ death on the cross.
