Do You know Him?

 

Do you know the One who knew no sin, but became sin for you? And loved you so much that He laid down His life for you, and suffered like no other man has ever suffered before. Do you know Him? Who allowed sinful men to beat Him, scoured Him with a whip, crown with thorns that pierced His head, mocked Him, was spit on, and allowed them to crucify Him.

 

John 18:22: And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

 

John 19:1: Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. (Scourged means: of inflicting severe suffering, or punishment. A whip used to inflict punishment.

 

Matthew 27:29: And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

 

Matthew 27:30: And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

 

Matthew 27:31: And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. (Crucify means: to execute someone by nailing them to a cross with metal spikes. Their hands are stretched out on the crossbeam and with spikes driven through their wrists or hands. Their feet or ankles are attached to a cross with a metal spike. Crucify also means: kill, persecute, torment, torture, afflict, and agonize.)

 

Do you know Him? Not just His name, which everyone knows it's Jesus, that the Holy Bible scriptures is speaking of. What am asking, do you know Him personally, as your Lord and Saviour? Have you believed in Him who was without sin, but became sin for you. For God allowed our sins to be placed on Him, and He suffered by shedding His blood, and dying for those sins which was ours, so we could be made righteous in Him.

 

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.

 

So the price has been paid for your sins. And it was at a great price of God's only begotten Son who shed His blood, and died in our place. And was buried and God raised Him up on the third day. So because of that, you can now be saved by God's grace, through faith in believing on His Son Jesus Christ.

 

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received , how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
