Christ’s Death
“Christ died for us…He by the grace of God should taste death for every man…That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil…And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross…Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures…For in that He died, He died unto sin once…It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God…We were reconciled to God by the death of His Son…For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him” (Romans 5:8; Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 2:14; Philippians 2:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Romans 6:10; Romans 8:34; Romans 5:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:14).
What a wonderful truth the death of Christ is! There was no other way that we could be brought into blessing and relationship with God apart from the death of Christ. As we think about this, and remember the Lord Jesus in His death today, may there be a deepening appreciation of what took place at Calvary, when Jesus died for us.
