On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: death on a cross, life forevermore, salvation for mankind, the bread of life, the Word made flesh, beauty for ashes, His Word for health and healing, joy for your soul, the light to light the way, and a baby in a manger.
This little baby would grow up and give up His will and his life to die on the cross. He would die on a cross and shed his blood as a sacrifice for our sins. His Blood would wash away our sins and make us white as snow. He did not have to do this but he did. He wanted to do the will of His Father. Without HIs life we could not have life everlasting. Jesus loved us more than himself. God loved us as His only Son.
I ask, Would you give up your son or your daughter for the sins of this world? Would you hang on a cross freely if your mom or dad wanted you to? “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (1Peter 3:18).
(Isaiah 53:3-10)
“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”
”Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”
”But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.”
“He was taken from prison and from judgement: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.”
“And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.”
”Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.”
