Jesus saved us because He was a propitiation for our sin, He died for our sin and took the Wrath of God for us. God saw our sin on Jesus and turned away.
Sometimes I can be more moved looking at the physical suffering of Jesus when in fact, it was in fact Jesus suffering the wrath of God that is what saves us. We can be moved and be emotional from looking at physical suffering, but why not from looking at how God’s wrath was directed towards Jesus instead of us.
If we don’t know the seriousness of sin and how hateful and evil it is, then we won’t understand fully what Jesus did for us. Without knowing the depths of our sin, we won’t understand how great the wrath and fury of God was towards us and how much it means that Jesus, who is in eternal fellowship with God, took it upon Himself.
Lord, help us to see the depths of our sin and to battle it with all our being. Help us to see what Grace you bestowed on us when you showed your love by sending your Son to the cross to be a propitiation.
“For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.”
-Romans 3:25
