"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." (Galatians 3:13, 14)
Read Deuteronomy chapter 28:15-68 and you will find just some of the well-deserved curses on man's rebellion.
Read today's text, and, as I did this morning, you may just find yourself with tears of thanksgiving for our Living Triune God in Jesus Christ, "....Who Himself bore our sins in His own Body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness...."
"Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I freely admit that my rebellion deserved all the curses. Thank You for such amazing grace, "so great a salvation." Amen
