“Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.”1 Peter 3:18 NLT
Sin causes suffering. We suffer, others suffer, but here Jesus suffered. He took our sins and as a consequence suffered the needed sacrifice to cleanse us from those sins. He suffered our consequences. Although He chose to die on a cross for us, then would have been physical suffering not related to the cross but to our sins. He took our mental anguish, our spiritual anguish as well as our physical anguish. When Isaiah says: “But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.”
(Isaiah 53:5 ) Jesus took all our consequences.
I am grateful! All my wrong has been paid for. Thank You Jesus!
