He Took Upon Himself The Sins Of The Whole World On The Cross!

Only Jesus was perfect, & that's why He could pay the price of our sins & take our punishment & God could forgive us. Jesus fulfilled the Law & its requirement of death to the sinners. He died in our place so that we wouldn't have to die! He voluntarily gave Himself to be crucified, He loves us so!

Jesus died of a broken heart!--What broke His heart was not our sins. He knew that we were going to be saved & be forgiven. What broke His heart was thinking that God could turn His back on Him. And at that time, feeling like the lost sinner, He went through an experience which, thank God, WE will never have to go through: Not just crucifixion, not just the agony of the body, but the agony of mind & heart & spirit, feeling that God had actually deserted Him! "My God, My God!" He cried out, "why hast Thou forsaken Me?" (Mat.27:46) Had God forsaken Him?--Yes, momentarily, that He might die the death of a sinner, without God!

Jesus loved us enough to give His Own life for us & take the punishment of our sins upon Himself on that cross, so that we could be forgiven & be saved! Such love! (Rom.5:8; 1Jn.4:10)
