“…He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and an s a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth…”—Acts 8:32 (NKJV)
When I think of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, all I can say is, “It was a beautiful sacrifice…” A sacrifice that got me and you into the kingdom of our God, an honorable sacrifice that got you and I born again, a sacrifice that gave us a new nature and wiped off the nature of sin that we were born with. The beautiful sacrifice, the blood of Jesus Christ, as it flowed out of Him, gave our lives a meaning and traded our sins with a price and nature of righteousness. Who would have thought that you and I could one day be redeemed? Who would have thought that there was a way to stop sin without the hindrance of the law? Who would have thought that someday we would be proud to say we are sons of God instead of slaves? No one understood how God was going to get back His chosen one, no one understood how we would suddenly be translated into the kingdom of our God, having been in the place of bondage for too long.
But our Lord Jesus Christ came into this world, and He made it happen. His saving grace and His saving power have set us free from the power of sin and death. Now we are free, and free forever. Therefore, let us sing for joy, and shout the shout of victory, at the beautiful sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let the earth know what the Lord has done for me and you. Let the earth know about the victory we have received in Him. Let the earth know that, “Death no longer has power over us, sin no longer has a hold on us, and the devil no longer has a claim over our lives! The price has been paid, the uttermost price. The price of the blood of the lamb has been offered to our God and all is now free!” This is a beautiful moment for all the inhabitants of the earth. Therefore, live every day of your life, knowing that a beautiful sacrifice was offered for your sake, and today, you are at peace with God because of it. Refuse to allow the devil to tell you otherwise or keep you in any kind of bondage because our Lord Jesus Christ, through His finished works, has set you free from every bondage. Hallelujah!
