Just for you.

Jesus,the sinless lamb of God. The definition of Holiness. The only standard for purity. Men heaped accusation upon accusation. Insult upon insult. They mocked Him, spat on His face, placed a crown of thorns on His head, gave Him vinegar to drink, made Him walk barefoot on a rugged road. Stones must've torn His feet. To top it all, He was made to carry a cross. He was whipped. He was pierced with sharp nails. Blood gushed out of His body. Till there was none left. All for you and me. He took our place so that we may not be condemned to hell but would enjoy eternal life with Him forever in heaven. 

                           There are times when you reject God completely. You even question His existence. But it is only because of Him that you have the privilege of being alive. We hear of accidents, natural disasters, war and death everyday. We live in a world that is void of love and mercy for one another.  Yet, God in His great mercy, has protected you. He has given you the breath of life. All because of His grace. All because He wants you to spend eternity with Him. All because He wants you to taste the joy of salvation. All because He wants you to experience peace that surpasses all understanding. All because you are precious and honoured in His sight. All because He cares for you. All because He loves you.

                           You don't have to slaughter animals for your forgiveness. Our God is not pleased with our sin offerings or burnt offerings. He is not delighted in traditions and rituals. He does not enjoy the blood of lambs and bulls or the flesh of any living creature. He does not want you to tear your flesh and shed blood so that your sins will be given. So that you will be blessed. So that God will listen and answer your prayers. NO!! Your sins have been washed away. You are forgiven. You have a new life. Because, Jesus has paid the price in full. He has redeemed you. He sacrificed Himself for you! All this because he does not want you to perish. But have an eternal life. There is life after death. You are not going to born in any other avatar but you will retain this image of God you have by default and spend the rest of eternity in a place where there will be joy instead of tears, peace instead of purpose, happiness instead of sorrow! All you have to do to get there is to have faith in Jesus. That He is God and there is no other like Him. That Jesus, He is the way, He is the truth, He is the life and that there is salvation in no other name but the name of Jesus! Repent, Believe and you will be saved.
