😔 Jesus was marred beyond recognition for you! Jesus died a horrific death for the sins of many!😭

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 The book of Isaiah in chapter 52 (and not 58, as I mistakenly quoted in this episode), verse 14, talks about that many were amazed when they saw Jesus up there dying on the Cross. His face was so disfigured, He seemed hardly human, and from His appearance, one would scarcely know He was a man! The Bible is saying that Jesus looked unrecognizable as a human being dying up there on the Cross! That was due to the severe and horrific beating and suffering that Jesus endured on our behalf - by taking on our sins and the punishment of Holy God! Jesus took our punishment that was rightly due to us, because we didn't know how to stop sinning by breaking God's laws! Jesus' sacrifice appeased God's anger towards mankind, and through His shed blood, we have been reconciled back to the Father through His atonement! And what should be our response to all of that? It is to repent and believe that Christ Jesus died for our sins! And in gratitude for His finished work at the Cross, we should live our lives producing fruit in keeping with repentance! We must put away the sin and lay it down! No longer can we justify it, no longer can we make any excuses for it, we must forsake it and never to return back to it! Jesus paid a huge steep price to ransom us back from the kingdom of Satan! Christ Our Lord willingly laid down his life for us! By faith in Him, our flesh has been crucified and we no longer live, because Christ lives in us! AMEN! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/repentandbelieve/message
