--The Resurrection and the Holy Bible ~~~~JESUS DIED SO WE CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE~~
~~Jesus's death substituted for ours. He was the sacrificial "Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). The Lamb is none other than God the Son, who willingly "took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men...and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" (Philippians 2:7-8). Remarkably, even God the Father "despised" Him as He hung on the cross, for God is holy, and for our sakes had "made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5 :21). The apex of Christ's suffering came, as we see in our text, when God the Father separated Himself from His beloved Son, "forsaking" (v.46) Christ to suffer for three hours the awful pangs of death that we deserved. ~~ --ICR/JDM--"[In the] Light Of Your Love" // < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guJzpxrTDEo> --[Friends, if the song is missing, please try to find it on youtube. I believe it is "Light of Your Love"..[not sure of the original singer]. Truly beautiful. To G-D be all glory. JESUS IS ALIVE, HE IS THE RISEN LORD! \o/ ~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
