Morning Line: He did it for You!

“…My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJ)

Imagine having to stand on a stage and watch every sin you’ve ever committed replayed for the entire world to see – secret addictions, selfish motives, angry outbursts, critical attitudes, and a jealous heart.

How do you think you’d feel?

Well, Jesus experienced much worse. The Bible says: ‘He…bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed’ (1Peter 2:24 NKJV).

It’s bad enough to die for sins you didn’t commit, but imagine being forsaken by God! Does that mean the Psalmist was wrong when he wrote: ‘…I have never seen the righteous forsaken…’ (Psalms 37:25 NIV)

No, because at that moment Jesus was anything but righteous. When you look at Him hanging there, you will see the gossiper, the liar, the cheater, the alcoholic, the porn addict, the child abuser, the murderer. Does it bother you to see His name linked with theirs? Well, Jesus did even more. He put Himself in their place and yours. In a move that broke God’s heart and gave us the gift of eternal life, He poured out His righteous judgment on His only Son. So when Jesus cried from the cross, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ He said it so that you would never have to. What wondrous love.

Receive Him as Savior, and take daily time to know God the Father, the Son the Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, your teacher/guide; you will be more than glad you did.

 ^“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places,
and make your bones strong…” Isaiah 58:11(NRSVCE)

Daily pour God’s Word into your heart to overflowing; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!

You are chosen for this space and time in God’s timeline to make a difference; prepare your heart, mind, and spirit.

Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are your unshakable foundation.

You matter; your Story matters. Live expectantly!
