This is the song of the day, at least for me!
You know, I got lost in the middle of a busy traffic today, listening to this song.
“You carried all of my burdens
You took ’em all to that grave
I know You didn’t deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I know You didn’t deserve it
And I know it should’ve been me
I can’t believe it”
How true that is!
Unless we know how wretched we had been before we came to Christ, we won’t know the value of the cross.
You see, Jesus didn’t die on the cross for bad people. Jesus didn’t die to make bad people good or not-nice people, nice; rather, He died to bring dead people to life.
Listen:-
“Truly, truly, I [Jesus] say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24 NASB
Did you see that?
That is why the Bible says,
“Whoever has the Son [Jesus] has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12 NASB
You know what it’s saying?
It’s saying, if Christ lives in you, you are alive; if Christ does not live in you, you are dead.
The call of Christ is straightforward:- Call on My Name and you shall be saved!
This is as easy as it gets!
“WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” Romans 10:13 NASB ///
