Calvary...a small hill where the most holy one JESUS, God incarnated, laid down His life for humanity. Mankind turned away from God. Yet, God did not turn away; He can never turn away from His children. God the Father loves each one of us more than we can imagine. He loves us so much that He sends His only son, Jesus, in human form.
Jesus lived a very simple life when on earth. During His public life, He performed many miracles. He was kind and good to sinners. He invited all those who were burdened to go to Him for rest. Jesus revealed the heavenly Father's love for us by doing the Father's will.
The will of the Father was that Jesus should lay down his life as a sacrifice for the sin of all humanity. The wages of sin is death. Jesus was innocent, without even the tiniest trace of sin.
But He accepted death on a cross, which was the punishment given to criminals. Indeed, He carried the burden of our sins on His shoulder.
Jesus' death on the cross set us free....we are no longer slaves to sin, because God has sanctified us. The gift that He offers is eternal life!! For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (ROM. 6: 22-23)
We can experience this precious gift of eternal redemption by believing that Jesus is the only Saviour. “If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (ROM. 10:9)
