He was Pierced For ME!!!

“But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are
healed.” (Isaiah 53: 5)

Tonight, the Biblical Festival of Passover (Pesach) begins, coinciding
this year with Good Friday.

On Sunday, as Passover continues, Believers will celebrate the resurrection of
Jesus on Easter.

Around the world, as the Jewish People commemorate their exodus from slavery in
Egypt, and celebrate the saving power of the God of Israel, Believers in Yeshua
(Jesus)—both Jewish and Gentile—will celebrate freedom from slavery to sin.

This freedom, the salvation of Israel and all mankind, was accomplished through
the death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), as the
sacrificial Passover Lamb.

“Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will
appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are
waiting for Him.” (Hebrews 9:28)

In fullfillment of scripture, Jesus became our guilt offering, paying the price for sin once and for all.

".. though the Lord makes His life a guilt offering, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in His hand isaiah 53:10"

 

 

While the guilt offerings on the alter of the temple could only roll back sins for another year.

Jesus's death and ressurection actually removed sin for all time.

 

 

As John said when he saw Jesus comming to him at the Jordan River

"Behold the lamb of God that takes away the Sin of the World" -John 1:29

Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you
really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.” (1 Corinthians 5:7)

“But you know that He appeared so that He might take away our sins. And in Him
is no sin.” (1 John 3:5)

Why did Jesus do this? Cause He loved you. By taking your punishment for sin, the judgment of God shall passover you.  My sins have been washed away because of the Finished work that Jesus did on the Cross.  He was Pierced for me, He can be Pierced for you as well.
