The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross was the ultimate act of God's love. As the Holy Lamb of God He took away the sin of the world. "He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him and by His wounds we are healed." (Read Isaiah 53) The scriptures tell us that, "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God."
In my song "The Sacrifice" I sing, "His body nailed on a tree for you, there's nothing He held back or wouldn't do... He gave all He could give... and all He asks is that for Him you live..." The price for our freedom from sin, death and hell was the sacrifice of the very Son of God! Seeing that He did that for you, what should your response be to Him? The clearest answer is found in 2 Corinthians 5.15 "And He died for all, that those who live should live not for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again." Yes, all He asks is that you live for Him!
I hope my song will serve as a reminder of the awesome love Jesus has for you... how high and wide and deep is the love of Christ! The more we ponder it, the more wonderful it all is! And may His love compel you to lay down your life, and live it for the One who loves you most!
