In honor of Good Friday, let us meditate on the scriptures below, about Jesus, who sacrificed His life for the atonement of our sins (so that our sins could be forgiven):
Romans 5:6-10 (NIV)
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by His [Jesus’] blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! For if while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life.

1 Peter 2:24 (NIV)
He [Jesus] 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.
_____________
1 Peter 3:18
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
_____________
John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
_____________
Romans 8:32 (NIV)
He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all – how will He not also along with Him, graciously give us all things?

I thank Jesus for dying for my sins (our sins). I am grateful because He did not have to do it.
I thank God for sacrificing His only son for us… so that our sins could be forgiven.
Let us reflect on something very important:
Jesus prayed for the people that crucified Him. After everything that He endured, He prayed for them.
Let us have a heart like Jesus.
Be encouraged! God loves you.
Love and peace,
