Writing With Grace

For Easter this year our church, Berean Baptist Church , put together a video entitled "I Deserved That Cross" that is a reading of Isaiah 53 and a brief gospel message from students on our missions team. The reality of the gospel is that Jesus, the suffering servant described in Isaiah 53, took our place. "He bore our sin." 2 Corinthians 5:21 puts it clearly, "For our sake he [the Father] made him [the Son] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." Jesus didn't deserve the cross, and we did. But he took our place anyways. He was our substitute.  Praise God that though "I deserved that cross" Jesus took up my cross!
