Our Transgressions

"For He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."(Isaiah 53:12)
This verse hit me hard today. Because of our downfalls...because of our sinful hearts, Christ had to come and be destroyed for our sake. He loves us so much that he entered the chaos of our sinful nature inorder to save us from our mess. You see, sin is living for yourself. In sin, we put what we want ahead of the glory and the plan of Almighty God. Christ didn't just save us from eternity in hell, but rather He saved us from ourselves. We hit the preverbal "self-destruct" button by choosing to walk away from Him, and yet He died for us. He didn't just die so that we could be forgiven of our sins, but rather He died to rescue us from them.
