He Was Born For This - Preparing For Christmas Series #3Voorbeeld

### Messiah would be a Sacrifice for Sin Thoughts on the Passage The Messiah came to die for broken creation. It was an amazing promise and an amazing act of grace to a weak and needy people. Still, God promised to send the Messiah to die. In Isaiah we see the cost of this promise: * He was pierced… * He was crushed… * He was beaten… * He was whipped… * He was oppressed... * He took all our punishment… While we were sinners, Christ [the Messiah] died for us. God promised it, God made the provision so it would happen and Jesus fulfilled it. Now we are free from our broken past. Time to Pray Father, thank you so much for a Messiah who was willing to pay the price for our redemption. The cost was too great for us to pay. The cost could only be paid by Him and He willingly paid it for us because of His love for us. Thank you so much for making this available to us. In Jesus’ Name Amen.
