He was bruised for our iniquities!!!
Current mood:

Jesus Christ and him crucified. Everything else comes from this magnificent event. He is the glory of God. He is the ultimate man, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is the alpha and the omega, the origin and the destination. One day he will speak and raise every one from their graves, those that are his will rise to eternal life, those that are not to the judgement that leads to the lake of fire. This is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. All knowing, all powerful. Worthy of all honour and praise. The co existent, co equal son of God. He speaks and it happens.

Isaiah 53:5 "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".

This season is about him. He achieved the greatest thing in history. He kept the law, all 613 precepts and commands of the law perfectly for all his people. He did not sin once. He magnified the law and made it honourable. He came to do the will of the father. To live perfect, to die in disgrace, to pay the fine, take the wrath, and to rise again, showing his glory. This is meekness, absolute power under control for a pure purpose, the glory of the Father.

Jesus is coming back in flaming fire taking vengeance on those that know not God and obey not the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is an age of grace, a time for people to recognise his glory, his perfection, his holiness. To judge themselves by the Ten Commandments, the standard they will be judged by when they stand before God to give an account of their life. Look to the law, who are you compared to God? If you are in yourself a wretch deserving only hell like me then there is hope.

This is the good news. Jesus died for a reason. We broke the law, and have a fine we can't pay, he died and took the punishment for the fine for us. Believe in what he has done and obey his command to repent, to change your mind, attitude, direction about God, sin, and turn from your sins and put your faith in Christ alone for your rightness with God. He will give you a new heart with new desires, this is being born again. Then read the bible every day and obey what you read, God will not let you down.

What other religion makes any sense? look in the divine mirror, who but Jesus can clean away your sins?

Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved!

For the glory of God I exist, Marty.
