The Day Grace Happened to You.
Christ took away our sins. Where did he take them? To the top of a hill called Calvary, where he endured not just the nails of the Romans, the mockery of the crowd, and the spear of the soldier... but the anger of God.
Saturate your Heart in this; The Finest Summary of God's Greatest Accomplishment:
God, in His gracious kindness, declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take away the punishment for our sins, and to satisfy Gods anger against us.
We are made right with God, when we believe that Jesus shed His blood, sacrificing His life for us. God didn't overlook our sins, lest he endorse them. He didn't punish you, lest he destroy you. He instead, found a way to punish the sin and preserve the sinner.
Jesus took our punishment, and God, gave us credit for Jesus' perfection. As long as the cross is God's gift to the world, it will touch you, not change you. Precious as it is to proclaim "Christ died for the World!", even sweeter it is to whisper "Christ died for Me".
Thank God for the day Jesus took our place, for the Day Grace Happened to you.
