The betrayal, the trial, and the death of Jesus

"It is finished." The fulfillment of Scripture, the penalty for sin, the curse of the law, the power of Satan. All of it was finished when the life of Jesus was finished.

I will never, ever know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross. But because of Christ, I will never have to; He put an end to it all for me. It has been finished. He gave His precious life to save my worthless one.

What does Christ's death mean in your life? Does it mean anything at all? Or does it mean everything above all?

When I look upon the cross

In what might seem a senseless death

I see the wisdom of God

For there the sinless Holy One

Was made to be sin for me

Then He declared me righteous

So I will glory only in the cross

Yes, I will glory only in the cross

And I will make my boast

In the Lord Jesus Christ

Crucified to ransom us
