But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed ~ Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)

What he did… for us, wretched sinners… never fails to make me weep.

Thank you for this, Mathew. And God bless your Easter weekend.

I'm not going to watch the video because I can't stand the sight of blood :P But yeah, what God did for us through His Son…there is nothing that even comes close to it in comparrison.

I've been listening to mp3 bible classes for a while now, and they've taught me a lot about Jesus that I didn't quite understand before. I'm struck with amazement everytime I learn something new about His work, His character etc.

One of the most amazing things I've learned is that, it's not like God pretends to not see our sin, because of what Jesus did, but rather they were literally washed away. The law has been satisfied. Jesus became sin, even though He had not sinned, and we have received his righteousness, even though we were not righteous. He died, though it was us who should have died. And now we have new life, and He could not be held by death either :)
Nothing in the world or outside of it can do what Jesus/God did. It is completely unique and complete: it is done :)

Have a good one, everyone :)
