The death of Jesus on the cross will not be a waste in your life, in the Name of Jesus.
Fire Scripture:
Isaiah 53
53 Who really believed what we heard? Who saw in it the Lord’s great power?
2 He was always close to the Lord. He grew up like a young plant, like a root growing in dry ground. There was nothing special or impressive about the way he looked, nothing we could see that would cause us to like him. 3 People made fun of him, and even his friends left him. He was a man who suffered a lot of pain and sickness. We treated him like someone of no importance, like someone people will not even look at but turn away from in disgust.
4 The fact is, it was our suffering He took on Himself; He bore our pain. But we thought that God was punishing Him, that God was beating Him for something He did. 5 But He was being punished for what we did. He was crushed because of our guilt. He took the punishment we deserved, and this brought us peace. We were healed because of his pain. 6 We had all wandered away like sheep. We had gone our own way. And yet the Lord put all our guilt on Him.
7 He was treated badly, but he never protested. He said nothing, like a lamb being led away to be killed. He was like a sheep that makes no sound as its wool is being cut off. He never opened his mouth to defend himself. 8 He was taken away by force and judged unfairly. The people of his time did not even notice that he was killed. But he was put to death for the sins of his people. 9 He had done no wrong to anyone. He had never even told a lie. But He was buried among the wicked. His tomb was with the rich.
10 But the Lord was pleased with this humble servant who suffered such pain. Even after giving himself as an offering for sin, he will see his descendants and enjoy a long life. He will succeed in doing what the Lord wanted. 11 After His suffering He will see the light, and he will be satisfied with what he experienced.
The Lord says, “My servant, who always does what is right, will make his people right with me; he will take away their sins. 12 For this reason, I will treat him as one of my great people. I will give him the rewards of one who wins in battle, and he will share them with his powerful ones. I will do this because he gave his life for the people. He was considered a criminal, but the truth is, he carried away the sins of many. Now he will stand before me and speak for those who have sinned.”
MFM MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:
We are all sinners but Christ died in our place. Jesus Christ was despised and rejected by men, He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, He was despised.
The Jews were expecting a Messiah, they were expecting someone like David who was famous for killing Goliath, however, Jesus Christ did not meet their expectations for a Messiah.
His suffering for us was misunderstood. On the day of crucifixion, the Jews said, let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe (Mark 1532). In the night, when there was darkness in the whole world, some of them believed that surely, He is the son of God.
Every one of us is a sinner. “All we like sheep had gone astray.” Though some claim to be good, but the Bible makes us understand that we are all sinners. The Bible says “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Christ died in our place.
God does not look upon sin lightly, Jesus was punished for our sins. He came to serve and gave His life as a ransom for many. Jesus was a good shepherd who searches for the lost sheep.
He borne our griefs, He carried our sorrows, He was crushed for our iniquities, and upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace. The Almighty God laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He died for our sins and for our salvation.
Jesus Christ is our divine substitute, He substituted His life for us. He died that we may have life and that we have it more abundantly.
Jesus came and took upon Himself all our sins, our sins were transferred to Him. He became our substitute. He paid it all.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1 The death of Jesus shall not be in vain in my life in the Name of Jesus.
2 The substitute of Jesus Christ over my life shall not be in vain in the Name of Jesus
3 Christ Jesus, the perfect substitution, hijack my life in the Name of Jesus
EVENING
4 Every seed of sin over my life, die in the Name of Jesus.
5 Every inherited sin in my life, blood of Jesus, wash them away in the Name of Jesus
6 I will not serve the Lord in vain, in the Name of Jesus.
7 Father, let the law of divine substitution work for me now in the Name of Jesus
