5 Verses on Meditating on Christ’s Sacrifice for Us
It’s a crazy story when you think about it—a perfect Savior dies for a people who are, shall we say, less than perfect—or, let’s be honest—just plain sinful? As Easter approaches, take some time to meditate on the surprising sacrifice Christ made for us.
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.
