Why did our Savior and Lord endure the horrors of the cross? Why did the Father sacrifice his only begotten son? They did it all for us. Oh, what beyond words to describe it love that gives us peace and rest, even in a world of constant turmoil where men's hearts are rightly failing them for fear. It lets us know that God keeps his promises. Just like the Father kept his promise to send his son the first time, he will keep his promise to send him back at the appointed time to set up his kingdom. Hallelujah!
THEY DID IT FOR US!
The king of all kings,
Laid aside
his crown,
Left
heaven’s perfection,
For a
manger,
A crown of
thorns,
And a
cross.
The sinless Master,
Humbled himself,
Took on
flesh,
Hating
man’s wickedness,
He grieved
over lost humans,
Healed and
set them free.
The Lord of lords,
Was tempted,
Just like
us,
Yet without sin,
Had human
needs,
Felt what
we feel.
God’s only begotten son,
Suffered a
broken heart,
Was betrayed,
Beaten and
mocked,
Spit upon,
Died
between two thieves.
Knowing
what he would suffer,
Why did
the Father send his son?
Seeing their broken creation,
Headed for
destruction,
Their
heart ached with love,
They did
it all for us!
