Because He Loved Them
Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Mar 14, 2023 (message contributor)
Because He Loved Them
They tried to shame Him.
They tried to destroy Him.
They tried to ruin Him.
He died for them!
They despised Him.
They mocked Him.
They humiliated Him.
He died for them!
They stripped Him.
They spat in His face.
They beat Him.
He died for them!
They made Him bear the cross.
They nailed His hands and feet.
They broke His precious body.
He died for them!
Why did He die?
Why did He suffer?
Why did He endure the cross?
He died. He was crucified.
Why? Why? Because He loved them!
"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." 2 Corinthians 5:21, KJV
