HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY
But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
2 Corinthians 5:21 - For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him
Friends,
the cross was not just a symbol but it carried a weight beyond human
understanding. Jesus bore the weight of sin, shame, pain, death and separation,
so that we could walk in freedom. Yes, every step He took towards Calvary was
heavy, not just because of the wooden cross, but because of the burden of
humanity placed upon Him which is the spiritual perspective of the cross. When
Simon of Cyrene was compelled to help carry the cross, it revealed how intense
the suffering had become. Luke 23:26 And as they
led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming out of the
country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus
Christ. Yet, even in that moment,
Jesus did not turn back. He was in a journey of purpose for our redemption.
Let’s embrace Jesus with the sacrifice, today. He endured the pain because He
saw the purpose, your redemption and mine was in the weight. We should learn to
honour the sacrifice by total submission with our lives. So, your burden is
paid already on the cross. Galatians 3:13 Jesus
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. Let’s
enjoy the finished work on the cross.
However, the weight of the cross reminds us that
our salvation was weighty and costly. It was not just a cheap grace; it was
paid for with His blood, His suffering, and His sacrifice. Therefore, because
He carried that weight, we no longer have to carry the burden of sin and
condemnation. 1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins” in his body on the
cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds
you have been healed. Today, let’s reflect
deeply: Are you still carrying what Jesus has already paid for? The cross is an
invitation to release your burdens and embrace the freedom He has given. We
should release every burden and live in the victory in Jesus name.
Prayer Point:
Lord Jesus, thank You for carrying the weight of my sins
on the cross. I am grateful for the sacrifice You made for my freedom in this
crucifixion morning in Jesus name.
