Grace on a Cross
Today’s Reading: Matthew 27:26-50
Focal Verse: Matthew 27:42
“He saved others: Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.”
They were wrong. He could have saved Himself but, because of grace, He didn’t. He voluntarily hung there. It amazes me. He hung there for the ones who nailed His hands and feet. He hung there for the ones mocking, spitting and watching. He hung there for you and me.
Why? He knew you and I could never be good enough. He knew you and I deserved punishment for our sins. So He hung there. He took all of our sins on Himself.
They didn’t get it. Do you?
One of our greatest weapons against becoming self-righteous is to remember the cross. Thank Jesus for hanging there for you.
