Wonderful Gift from a Wonderful Saviour
Around 2000 years ago, a great decision was made. God came down as a little human called (baby) Jesus.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:25
Then, the little baby Jesus was wanted by a power paranoid Herod.
Slash! Slash! That was the fate of the babies who stayed. Herod's plan failed. Baby Jesus was safe somwhere else.
Then he grew to a man of 33. Then one night, there came the chief priests and those with them. Their objective? To see Jesus... ... dead.
There was God. God on the cross. Two cruel nails pierced the very hands of the suffering Saviour. One was driven through the legs.
The agonizing pain.
The price of salvation. All sin was on Him. The sins of all the people.
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"Matthew 27:46
I bet the Heavenly Father must have turned His face away. I wonder how the God-forsaken Saviour must have felt.Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.Luke 23:46
The price of salvation.Wonderful Saviour. Wonderful Grace. The greatest gift of all.Not just a normal gift. The Saviour paid for it. The price? His very own blood, shed for us. Have you accepted the gift He gave?
