Most of us do not grasp the weight and burden places upon Jesus as He hung on the cross. All guilt, shame, regrets, bitterness, and envy were placed upon the Son of God so that He could pay the penalty no one else could pay. His grief and sorrow were measures of His love for who He has created. If we are truly follow Him, there is no room for pride or self sufficiency. I have much to learn from this Man of Sorrows
Questions to consider:
How do we often minimize the gravity of Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross?
How does today’s reading help you worship and marvel at who Jesus is?
“At the cross, in holy love, God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.” - John R.W. Stott, The Cross of Christ
