The Passion
The Passion
For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
1. It wasn’t the Pharisees, the crowds crying crucify him, Pilot, the Roman soldiers, or the nails the put him on the cross.
It was his love for us that caused him to go thru all he endured…the accusations, beatings, humiliation, the crown of thorns, the nails in his hands, and the spear in his side. All for love. His Passion, suffering because of love.
2. Love we didn’t deserve.
For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.
3. He understood the awful cost of sin and separation from God
From now on, then, we do not know anyone from a worldly perspective. Even if we have known Christ from a worldly perspective, yet now we no longer know him in this way. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come! Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
4. We have been reconciled to God…why let anything stand between you and him…consider Him.
For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up. In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
It wasn’t the nails…It was you, me, us, that nailed him to the tree.
Because we were and are His passion we should make Him our passion. The way we live, as we become ambassadors of Christ, showing others the love of God and the path to reconciliation.
He love you...
