Devotional Reflection
He took on our sins. Not only did He carry them, but He also took the punishment we deserved. His pain was our salvation. His pain was our justification. How could we ever go back to sin after He went through so much to pay for it?
Prayer
I'll never be able to comprehend how a Holy God could watch as my sin and all sin crushed Your precious Son. I appreciate Your great love and Your majesty as God. No one, O God, can even come close to You. Both Your greatness and Your love surpass my wildest dreams. Through Jesus, who took on my sin so that I could become Your child, I will live today to Your glory. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
