It is finished!

The words "It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished" from How Deep The Fathers Love For Us have been on my mind. To think that Jesus was nailed up on that cross with my sins is very convicting. For someone who lived a sinless life to suffer by my sins alone is enough. I fear that the most saintly person on earth has committed enough sin in their life to hold Jesus upon the cross, but you add the entire world's sin that ever has and will be committed. It makes it easy for me to imagine when I think of it in this light, that not only did he suffer all the lashings and torment, the taunting and the pain of that horrible day, but he did it all with the weight of this sinful world on his  shoulders. I echo from my post yesterday...'it exhibits how Christ truly was a part of the Holy trinity, for I see no other reason He could endure such a thing.'

Thank you for the cross Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace
Thank you for this love Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace
Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crown
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

I cannot express enough how much that sacrifice made long ago, has so positively changed my life. I pray that you will ask me about this positive change, so I can share all the many ways I am impacted each and every day by the love and blessings that God pours down upon me. (If you need an example:I have been up sick and physically miserable for almost 24 hours, and I am so thankful because I have just had the best time building my relationship with Him!!!)
