SCRIPTURE: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ISAIAH 53:5.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary is the most distinguishing identity of Christianity.
Today marks one of the most significant events in human history. It is a season that the Christian Faith celebrates the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary is the most distinguishing identity of Christianity. No other religion professes the resurrection, crucifixion, or sacrifice of anyone for others. This sacrifice reveals the character and heart of God for mankind more than anything else.
The sacrifice of Jesus is the transformative power of Christianity, turning murderers into deliverers, sinners into saints. No other religion boasts of such life transformation. They only have codes or commandments that people struggle to keep. Only the Cross has such power to change a man completely.
In today’s study, we shall examine man’s helpless position before Calvary and God’s response to man’s plight.
1. The fatality of man’s fall (Genesis 3:7-12). Romans 3:23 says, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. It was a fatal crash.
2. The multiplicity of sin’s effects (Genesis 3:16-18). The consequences of sin were plenty – affliction, sickness, curses, poverty, shame, reproach, premature death, etc.
Having seen the position of man before Calvary, what then is God’s response to man’s position?
i. The reality of God’s love. John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 1John 4:8 states that God is love. Calvary confronts humanity with the demonstration of God’s love.
ii. The immensity of God’s gift (Romans 8:32).
Calvary brought Christ and everything needed for life and godliness.
Now, what did God achieve by sending His Beloved Son to die for the sins of mankind?
i. Restoration of man’s relationship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18).
ii. Reversal of sin’s consequences. Calvary reverses sickness, poverty, premature death, etc. Isaiah 53:4-6 corroborates this.
iii. Rescue of man’s soul from eternal damnation (John 3:16).
Beloved, Jesus died so we can have everlasting life. We are not permitted to end in hell.
REMEMBER THIS: The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary is the most distinguishing identity of Christianity.
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Calvary. I acknowledge that I am buried with Christ by baptism unto death. As Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so, I also walk in newness of life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
