I ran headlong into my sin. He ran headlong into my punishment. I denied Him. He affirms me. I cried out, “Crucify Him!” He cried out, “Forgive him.” I claimed to be innocent, knowing I am guilty. He claimed to be guilty, knowing He is innocent. I earned the Father’s wrath. He earned the Father’s favor. I receive the Father’s favor. He received the Father’s wrath. The Father embraced me. The Father forsook Him.
I crucified the Lord of Glory. The Lord of Glory laid down His life for me.
RC…. I loved this. I passed on to our pastors and those involved with evangelical outreach that the PERSONAL TESTIMONY STORIES are often ‘look at me’ stories.
As far as I’m concerned you have boiled the PERSONAL TESTIMONY story to it’s ESSENCE. It points to JESUS CHRIST.
Thank you brother. Very encouraging. I pray your Good Friday is a day of deep sorrow and deep joy, that our Redeemer would draw near.
Hey RC, I am one of the pastors that Mike shared this article with and I am going to quote you tonight in our Good Friday service. I was looking for a way to end my message on Imputation…and I think I found it.
Thank you for the well-written piece.
Thank you. I pray your service goes well and the Lord is exalted.
