The Cross That Saved My Life

Our death is not sufficient to atone for sin because atonement requires a perfect, spotless sacrifice, offered in just the right way. Jesus, the one perfect God-man, came to offer the pure, complete and everlasting sacrifice to remove, atone, and make eternal payment for our sin.

            Have you ever thought why God gave His only Son to save us?  Ever since I was a little girl, I always thought that a cross is a symbol of pain and suffering. It is a wonder to me why churches have cross when you see in the movie that cross is being used to hurt someone. I never thought that, that cross will change everything from the moment I heard the word of God.

It is said in 1 Peter 1:18-19, Jesus paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors (Adam and Eve). And the ransom was not mere gold or silver. He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless spotless Lamb of God. Jesus, paid our sins as a whole. Sins committed by the human race is all been washed away by the Son of God. Sins has been taken out and paid by Jesus.. God gave His only Son to save the world because he loves us so much.

If you’re a father or a mother, will you be willing to give the life of your only son to wash away the sins of someone don’t even care for you at all?  Come to think of it, hard yet God gave it all out. It is a privileged to have God’s love, when you don’t give it back to Him, and when we take it all for granted every time we commit a sin. A pastor once quoted, Christian life is not easy.. it is impossible. But this should be the hindrance to continue living through His word after everything God has done for us. We may not be perfect enough not to commit a sin because of our selfishness. But remember this every time you wake up, God gave His only Son to save you.. How many times did you let Jesus be crucified because of you, because of your sins? Why will He not give you everything? Is it too much to ask to give the love back to our Savior?
