Worthy Is The Lamb

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all.
Isaiah 53:6

Somehow it seems unfair, and undeserving for Christ to
have to suffer for people who neglect him daily. That He
should be whipped, and beaten and mocked, and crowned
with a crown of thorns that dug into his head and caused him
to bleed... only to be led to a cross and cruelly crucified for us.

Why did he do this? Because he was worthy.. the Lamb of
God who came to take away the sins of the world.

3. He was despised and rejected—
a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
He was despised, and we did not care.
4. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
5. But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.

Isaiah 53:3-5 NLT


Have you let him take away your sins? What have you done
to be justified in his sight? Have you sought Him? Have you called
upon His name? Have you praised him and lifted his name
on high for the great things He did for you, long before you
were here? Have you bowed down before that cross and
asked Him to cleanse you from all unrighteousness and
sin and be your Savior forever?

Who is Lord of your life? What is your purpose in life?
Do you look at the eternal picture, or just drift from day to day?

God has plans for you my friend, and He loves you with a deep,
eternal love that never changes or fails. He saw you even
as you were being formed in your Mother. He longs to walk with
you daily, and talk with you, and guide you and set you free
from all that binds you and hurts you.

We all have a choice.. to worship the Risen Lamb and
live for him, and surrender our lives to him and follow him daily,
or walk away from Him, his protection, guidance and salvation.

What is your choice?

Only one life, will soon be past
Only what is done for Christ will last!
For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
