Thank You Jesus for paying our sins

“When they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him.” Luke 23:33

It’s been a long weekend, a wonderful and relaxing time we spent for our family. Some went to their province; some went to the beach and have bonding with friends and family, and some took that opportunity to have their reunion. With those days that have past take me in assessing the true meaning behind HOLY WEEK, and these are the things that reminds me of being blessed because Jesus came into my life.

When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for the sins of human race. Only those who believe on Him, however, can receive His loving provision. The sacrifice of Christ is sufficient for all, but it is effective only for those who place their trust in Him.

As the Lord Jesus hung on the cross, two criminals were crucified next to Him. One of those men is now in the place of the lost—his doom in hell forever sealed. The other is with Christ—his place in heaven assured for eternity. Their contrasting attitudes toward the Man on the center cross made all the difference.

One of the criminals railed at the Lord in unbelief. The other cried out in faith. “Lord remember me when you come into Your kingdom” Luke 23:42). To him Jesus said “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (v.43).

We are all represented by one of those two men. We either believe on Christ or we reject Him. Our eternal destiny depends on our decision. Jesus said to Himself, “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already” (John 3:18).

Holy Week has past; let’s thank Jesus for paying for our sin. If you haven’t trusted Him, do it today! At Calvary’s cross, we stand at the crossroads to heaven or hell.
