It Should Have Been Us

It should have been us nailed to the Cross. It should have been our life given.

But instead Christ gave His life in our place.

He took our sin upon Himself. He suffered on our behalf.

Christ died for you and me. He died to give us life.

This perfect and loving Son of God, left His place in glory, came down to Earth to die.

Yet, we question His love. We question His forgiveness. We doubt His existence.

We live for ourselves, when He died for us.

We focus on self, when He focused on us.

Let us not forget what Christ endured for us.

"There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected-a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed! All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's path to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the guilt and sins of us all." Isaiah 53:2-6

Stop searching, questioning and doubting, sweet one, you are loved, adored and wanted. Christ gave His life for you. Give your life to Him and let Him clothe you in His love, mercy and grace.
