There is Power in the Blood of the Cross

The powerful message of the Cross.
Christ was the only acceptable sacrifice for our sins because He had not known sin; this would be impossible for an infinite all knowing, All powerful, Holy, and Righteous God. Man is in a terrible state of hopelessness without any way of redemption: a redemption that had to satisfiy a Holy, Just, Righteous, and totally perfect God, our Creator. The plan for man's redemption did not take God a long time to "figure out" what needed to be done; He knew from eternity past what needed done for man to rise up on of a fallen hell-borne state. The answer was so clear to the Son that He willing came; no He was not proded or insisted or even the chose out of a crown for there was no other worthy to be a perfect sacrifice for man kind. It was such a great event that even the angels sang when He came to be born. And such a manner of birth too...a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Emmanuel, GOD WITH US. II Cor. 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
Christ, who had been at the Father's righthand for eternity past saw the perfect time to fulfill the Father's plan for man and stood up and came to earth to live like a man, be treated as a man, to be ridiculed by the men He came for, to be accepted by the men who had their eyes opened to the truth. He felt all the emotions, and pain that can and would be felt in His journey to fulfill the Father's will. He gave Himself willingly to be the sacrifice for man. He came as our vicarious substitute, and as Isaac willingly allowed Himself to be put on the altar to be sacrificed; so Christ willingly allowed Himself to be put on the cross to suffer for us so that we might be redeemed. When Christ died on the cross the victory was won... It is finished...the victory cry was given and death and hell and Satan were defeated. The enemy was defeated and the spoils of war were gathered and given unto men. The vitory was so great that we ought to be more bold to brag about what our Savior did for us and the whole world; if they would but accept this gift of Salvation we all would fall in worship of the Only Wise and Benevolent God. When Christ died for us He suffered the full penalty for us and His sacrifice was accepted of God the Father; and because it was accepted so we are accepted of God through Christ Jesus. Be sure to give this message to a friend in need today and let them know that Jesus gives the victory because He was victorious over Satan and over the eternal punishment that all men deserve. May God Bless my dear friends...
