The greatest moment in human history occurred when our Savior, Jesus, triumphantly declared, "IT IS FINISHED!" In that instant, our salvation, redemption, and eternal lives are now fully complete and secured in Christ FOREVER! He took our place, shed His blood for us, died, rose from the grave, and is coming back for His Church!
🔥We were all sinners, facing death, staring down an eternity in the pits of hell. But then, right at this very moment when our names are called to die, He steps into our lives, into the very depths of our despair, and takes our place. He dies instead of us, offering us a lifeline to eternal salvation. He sacrificed His life to save us, and now we stare at eternity in heaven with Him.
⚠️ We need to know and fully understand what He went through—otherwise, we will never grasp the depth, height, and length of His love for us! This is the work of His love, He went to the cross to pay for our sins to grant us eternal life.
🩸 The night before He was crucified, He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. His sweat fell to the ground like drops of blood, a manifestation of His intense anguish. As God, Jesus was fully aware of everything that was going to happen to Him
🩸 He experienced the pain of knowing that one of His very own disciples was going to betray Him.
🩸 He knew that many who had once called Him "The Messiah" would now be screaming for His crucifixion.
🩸 He knew that He would be beaten nearly to the point of death before they pounded the crown of thorns into His head.
🩸 He knew the prophetic words of Isaiah spoken 700 years ago, that He would be beaten so severely that He would be "disfigured beyond human likeness."
👉🏼These things contributed to His great anguish and sorrow, causing Him to sweat drops of blood. However, there was more...
🩸 He knew that He was going to be crucified. The crucifixion was considered the most painful and torturous method of execution ever devised. The pain was so unbearable that a word was created to describe it - "excruciating" - which means "from the cross".
🩸As our sinless Savior bore the weight of the world's sins on His shoulders and was being crucified, His Father must have looked away, for His "eyes are too pure to look on evil." This caused Jesus to cry out, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" The pain of being abandoned by His Father far surpassed the intense physical pain the Lord endured on our behalf.

And when He looks at YOU— He sees Christ!💪🏼
