An innocent person, we know as Jesus, sacrificed Himself on our behalf. Everything He went through was for us. Jesus was mocked, beat, and spat on. The flesh on His body was literally ripped away. A crown of thorns was pressed down on His head and spikes were hammered into his hands and feet. He was hung on a cross for hours until His death. 

It’s one thing to read someone else’s account of what happened, but Psalms 22 gives us a glimpse of what Jesus was actually going through.

Psalms 22:14-18 “My strength is gone, like water poured out on the ground. My bones have separated. My courage is gone. My mouth is as dry as a piece of baked pottery. My tongue is sticking to the roof of my mouth. You have left me dying in the dust. The “dogs” are all around me— a pack of evil people has trapped me. They have pierced my hands and feet. I can see each one of my bones. My enemies are looking at me; they just keep staring. They divide my clothes among themselves, and they throw lots for what I am wearing.”

‭There was nothing He did to deserve such punishment. He suffered so that we can be saved. He suffered so that we won’t have to experience the wrath of God. He suffered so that we can reconnect with the Father. 

Praise God for Jesus and all He’s done for us.
