Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so we would stop living for sin and start living for what is right. ( 1 Peter 3: 24)
He wore the indignity of sin for us .He bore SIN..... yours and mine, the sins of all humanity. If He had not done that for us we would still be in our sin.
The way of the cross provides the way to glory and victory, not defeat and humiliation.
Jesus knew that his trial was according to God's will and faced it with humiliation and self control.
When Jesus said " it is finished" it was because He had fully accomplished God's will and paid for our sins in full.
Glory , Hallalujah...... What a Saviour. I am getting chills just thinking about what He did for us. Praise His Name.
