But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13-14, New Living Translation)
There is an American folk song that says, "What wondrous love is this that caused The Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?"
Sometimes words fail. What wondrous, amazing love Jesus displayed for us in taking our sin, our curse, our shame on Himself on the cross.
Question: Would you be willing to pause for a few moments, stop everything you are doing, and just reflect on and rest in that love?
There are several amazing versions of this song on YouTube. Here's one. Enjoy.
