  o Isaiah 53:6 “The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

  o Isaiah 53:12 “He bore the sin of many.”

  o Gal. 3: 13 “He became a curse for us.”

  o 2 Corinthians 5: 21 “ He was made sin in our behalf.”

  o 1 Peter 2:24 “He Himself bore our sins on the cross.”

  Jesus hated sin the most and it was poured in full measure upon Him.

  But, as if that wasn’t enough, He also had the full wrath of God directed at Him!

   

  The cross of Jesus Christ is a horrendous historical fact, but it is the most wonderful thing that ever took place. Now, you have assurance of forgiveness. Now, we have to enter into the presence of God with boldness. It is so important that you read the word of God daily. Every day the enemy will suggest to you that you are not forgiven. You are guilty. He will try to put the weight upon you. People will try to put the weight upon you. You will try to put the weight upon yourself out of some kind of sick sense of religiosity. It is a shame to hold against yourself what Jesus Christ buried in the deepest sea, and removed it as far as the east is from the west. In the same way that we have been forgiven, we should forgive others. The cross not only dealt with what you did wrong, but with what was done wrongfully to you. Jesus had all wrong done to Him. Yet, He surrendered every right and took every beating. The way of the cross is to surrender and to forgive.
