He Chose the Nails, sung by Wes King



This song says something so profound . He chose the nails. When Jesus laid down His life for the sheep , it was no cosmic accident. From all eternity , God had planned this for His glory . To show His grace and love . When we reflect on this how can we not be moved. That Christ took the wrath due me , due you ,so that we might be forgiven.

How easy it can be to forget the awful price to bring a vial sinner form the pit of hell and wrath , to be cleansed and forgiven. It took the holy Son of God.

I wonder sometimes when I fall into sin , do I realize that my actions placed Jesus there and for my actions He died to wash me clean , to make me righteous by faith . That if  He did not choose the cross, I would stand condemned before a holy God.

He chose the nails , the whip , the cross so that all who will repent and believe in Him might be washed whiter than snow . Who do you trust in today to save you ? We all know we sin. To say other wise makes one a liar.
Stand in awe and bow your head to praise the one pierced for our transgressions .

What a beautiful and profound song. The images on the video really touched my heart. If this does not leave you with a sense of awe and humility, nothing will. Thanks be to God, that He took our place, for we are not worthy. Love you, Mrs Reg
