The One who knew no sin....oh wretched man that I am.<br /><br />Two thousand years after God took the knife from Abraham and provided a ram.... the curtain opens again. The background is dark and ominous. <br /><br />At center stage is the Son of God on Mount Calvary. He is bound by obedience to the will of His Father. He hangs there bearing the sin of His people. He is accursed.......betrayed by His creation and forsaken of God. Then... the silence is broken with the horrifying thunder of God’s wrath. The Father takes the knife... draws back His arm... and slays “His Son, His only Son, whom He loves.” And the words of Isaiah the prophet are fulfilled: <br /><br />“Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed... But the Lord was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief.” <br /><br />Amazing grace how sweet the sound........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
