Sometimes we get so caught up in our everyday lives, the hustle and bustle, busyness, chaos, and cares of this world that we forget why we are here in the first place. We forget how we are even able to live a life of holiness in hopes of reaching Heaven after this life. Lord, never let us forget what you did on the cross for us.
Matthew 27:
[22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
[23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
[24] When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
[25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
[26] Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
[27] Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
[30] And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
[31] And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
[32] And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
[33] And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
[35] And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
[36] And sitting down they watched him there;
[37] And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Regardless of the mistakes we have made, the past life we have lived, or the times in the future that we may fall, Jesus died for each and every one of us in place of all of our sins. Many times Satan tries to convice us that we are the exception to the rule- that we are "too far gone" or "too far out of reach" for God's grace. Never believe that. We are ALL undeserving of the price that Jesus paid for us; however, we ALL received the precious gift. No sin is too big or too small to be covered by the blood of Christ.
[1John 4:10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Why did He die this painful death for us? It is a simple thought that we learn as a child, but seem to forget the concept as we grow up and make mistakes. Remember singing this: "Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so." ?
Then why do we let ourselves get to the point of depression? Feeling unloved, unworthy, undeserving, unable to reach grace or forgiveness from our past?
Because of our sins, we are not worthy of Jesus' great love for us- but He did it anyways. He found us all to be someone worth dying for!
[Revelations 1:5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Let go of what you've done and give in to Jesus who can wash away all that we've done.
Yes, He loves you... the Bible tells you so. :)
