The Burden.

"Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
(Isaiah 53:4-5)
The bible says, that the wages of sin, is death.
Thus, whoever sinned, had to carry the burden of their deeds.

And us being humans,
it's pretty difficult to find a perfect one, right?

And when we all try to live right,
and choose the straight edge path.
Yet come some point, some how or the other,
we fail.

That kind of life sucks, doesn't it?
Stuck with guilt and condemnation,
and the fear of losing favor with Daddy God.

Beloved, God doesn't like life that way either.
And when the world finally realized the need for a savior,
Daddy God already knew the need for one,
and 500 years before it happened,
He shared His plans with Isaiah, who documented it.

And on Christmas Day, Jesus came.

Beloved, all have sinned and fell short of expectations.
That is why we needed someone who could carry away all our burdens.
And that was why Jesus came.

With his finished work came Romans 8,
which begins with no condemnation,
and ends with no separation from the Father.

Beloved, let go the burden of sins,
and start to reign.

You won't know the magnitude of His Grace,
until you know the severity of your sins.

And This Message, Glorifies Jesus.
