🔸️ Saviour Lord who died for sinners! 🔸️
In a town, a father was that District Judge. Once upon a time, his son committed a major crime and was put on the Court for judgement! The judge sitting in front of him was his own father!! At the end of the case, he was sentenced to a fine of Rupees 5 lakh or 10 years imprisonment!! The son, hearing that, shed tears. The father, who was in the judge's seat, said "Son, even though I am your father, I am also a judge. You must pay your sentence" and he ordered the Court to disperse.
He took off his judge's dress in the living room; He then approached his son who stood at the criminal cage, in the ordinary dress, took a 'bank-check' from his bag and wrote to his son the amount of Rupees 5 lakh, which he had kept for the rest of his life. He put his hand on his son's shoulder with love and said with tears in his eyes "Son, here is your sentenced amount; you will be set free" and released him!!
Do you see! God is a Judge for "Judgment"! He is a father for "Love"!! How many people have realized this wonder of the Lord? Jesus did not die for Christians! He did not die even for the Hindus! He did not die for Muslims either! He... that Saviour Lord Jesus, died for sinners!! (1Timothy 1:15).
For many Christians who were born in Christian family, read the Scriptures properly, praying and going to church, but "salvation" is far away for them! They could not repent before the Saviour, considering themselves as "sinners"! They are losing their salvation as "Christian sinners"!!
Even a mother in this World, when she gives birth to a child, never says, "This child is born to die!" Instead, she says, "He was born to live." But in this Universe, there is only one child who was "born to die!" The Lord Jesus is the only one who made that incomparable sacrifice for man!! This sacrificial Lord Jesus is the only one who died for the sins of mankind, conquered death and rose from the dead!!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! For we, the sinners, You accepted the punishment of righteousness for us! We submit ourselves to your sacrifice; please save and accept us! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
