Day 20 - This is a blog leading up to Metro Praise's Easter Service on April 24th, 2011. The purpose is to give a short Word to prepare people's hearts for the next season at Metro Praise and to help all grow closer to Jesus.Today's Word: "Jesus Took Our Sins"
When Jesus was on the Cross, God the Father placed on Him all the sins of the world: past, present, and future. There on the Cross, Jesus took upon Himself all the evil things that have ever been done in the world; everything from Adam and Eve’s sinful rebellion to the last sin man will ever commit.
He took them all upon Himself. Because God the Father is perfect, no one can come to Him unless they first offer a sacrifice for their sins. Before Jesus’ death on the Cross, the sacrifice required was from an animal. The sacrifices had to be made often with many different animals. However, when Jesus came He became the “one-time” sacrifice for all times.
From that point on, if a sinner wants to be forgiven of their sin and accepted by God the Father, all they have to do is accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross 2,000 years ago is all that’s needed to forgive their sins and allow them to have a new life. (Hebrews 9:14)
Have you been forgiven?
Reading: Isaiah 53.
Metro Praise Easter Service will be April 24th at 9am & 11am at 4323 W. Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL. 60641
