Taking on our sin and shame
Carrying a burden that was not His own All the while being innocent and pure. Experiencing our human condition Our simple joys and our happiness, Friendship and love And, ultimately our sadness, loneliness, and misery. Before His death He experienced betrayal, abandonment, and condemnation. He felt and went through everything any of us could ever go through. And, this gave Him more ammunition to love us so. And, more reason to turn His back on us and allow us to suffer and die in shame alone. But, rather than turn His back on us, He embraced us. He loved us. He wept for us. He shed His blood for us. He died for us. He took our punishment, our sins, and our shame and bore it on His shoulders. He carried all of it up Golgotha’s hill, while being spit on, mocked, and called names. He bore the collective weight of all our burdens, sin, and shame. This is what true love is. Thank you, Jesus For loving us so much.
