As we look at Jesus , walking towards the hill of the skull , were he will be stripped , his bloody body already beaten,whipped and in deep distress , nailed to two beams of wood to make a cross , do you see your depravity. When he is raised for all to see and mock , do you see your evil living within you . When you see the holy,sinless Son of God being made sin on your behalf , do you see how utterly sinful you are.
The cross stands before all who think they are good enough to stand before a holy God . It reveals the incomprehensibly depth of our sinfulness. It should truly humble us and leave us with a thankful and a heart full of worship and adoration for the Lord . So as we gather this coming Good Friday , reflect and let the gravity of what had to be done for you to brought into a right relationship to God .
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV)
