Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What held Jesus on the cross?” If He really was God in the flesh mere nails could not of held Him on that ugly cross. He could have commanded a legion of angels to free Him from the agony of the crucifixion. The crowds of people jeered Jesus whilst He was on the cross... “People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and shouted, “So youʼre the one who claimed you could tear down the temple and build it again in three days! If you are Godʼs Son, save yourself and come down from the cross!” (Matthew 27:39-40). Jesus didnʼt climb down from the cross but stayed on it until His last breath, but why?
Save Yourself
Jesus did not enter the world to save Himself but rather to save all those that would believe in Him, repent of their sins and ask Him to be the leader of their lives. Jesus stayed on the cross for you and me...Us all! It was His love for us that held Him to the cross! He loves us so much that He endured the shame, jeers and pain to set us free from death and sickness. Donʼt ever doubt that God loves you, just look at the cross and Jesus with His outstretched arms and Hear Him say to you this is how much I love YOU!
