and today He died for me

He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. —Isaiah 53:7

Today is Good Friday. Christ was led to Calvary with the cross and died for our sins. The day we received a love we did not deserve. The day where the purest, most innocent, holiest amongst holiest man died for doing nothing but good. He had to die though, God willed it. Yet knowing that His death was eminent, that it was just a matter of time, His life was not wasted. He washed His disciples feet, even the feet of the disciple that was going to betray Him!

And yes, Jesus knew! But Jesus had a mission. He had to shed His blood; He had to die this day.

4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:4-5

All worship and praise to the slain Lamb.

Thank you Jesus, thank you.

Amen.
