Jesus carried so much more than we can comprehend, the Word of God says "his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."(1 Peter 2:24 KJV) You get the fact that Christ died on the cross for your sins, but do you understand the literal meaning of it? You can watch what exactly happened on the cross, click the link at the end where my favourite Pastor created an animation to portray what happened 2000 years ago. More people need to know this, because I grew up as a Christian, and this did not compute in my head until I was in grade eleven in highschool. This is what truly happened, Jesus literally took our sins and sicknesses upon himself, he was covered head to toe with all types of cancer, black plague, small pox, gangrene, anything you can find in any medical dictionary, He carried it. Any mental conditions, phycosis, schitzophrenia, any demonic possession and oppresion which leads to shame and suffering, he had it. Then, when the last demon, the last sickness, the last feeling of complete and utter loneliness came upon him, He yelled "Finished!" and bowed His head and died, notice He bowed his head first then died, normally its the opposite, however, most people don't know, Jesus couldn't be killed, He needed to allow himself to die. Because of His perfect sinless nature, He could not be killed, if He didn't allow himself to die He would have just stayed there for all eternity.
Jesus was the savior of our entire life, everything we have ever done, every demon we have had to battle, every sickness we have gone through, He took it from us, He made His own body a catalyst for out freedom, if we only believe in what He has done for us. Jesus is so much more than what people see Him to be, Jesus is God, because of His unfailing love for us, He came to earth in the flesh, to take our sins upon himself.
Thats His love, His wonderful perfect love that surpasses all understanding.
Now that you know what happened at the cross, my next post will be about what happened after!
