Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows. (Isaiah 53: 4)
Reading the Bible in a Year:
1 Corinthians 14-16
Substitute Sacrifice - You like to watch action movies? If yes, you know, not all scenes performed by actors or actresses starring role. For dangerous scenes, their roles undertaken by stuntmen. This is done so that the main character to avoid bad risks that may occur as a result of an accident while shooting. Imagine how dangerous a job as a stuntman. That said, a stunt man must be willing to be a substitute sacrifice.
We may not be the main actor action movie. We do not need a stunt double. But allow me to say one thing to you-even less pleasant to hear. You and me a sinner. We deserve punishment. His sentence was not kidding. The penalty for sin is death (Rom. 6:23). If later the time comes, we are before the judgment seat of God. Can we accept the punishment? Our deeds will never be enough to deliver us from the punishment. Is not it really a relief if there are stuntmen who made the sacrifice in our place? However, where we can get people who are willing to be a sacrificial substitute for us?
Thank God! Nothing is impossible for Him. So great was his love upon us so much that He gave up His children. Jesus Christ died, became our substitute sacrifice. All done, so that we do not perish. Jesus Christ was willing to be a sacrifice in our place even though we are nobodies. He did so because His love is so great to men.-OKS
How could we able to escape from the penalty of sin?
Thankfully Christ in our place to bear.
