The punishment we deserve was laid on Him

I deserve to die, and to face eternity in Hell. But both the guilt and punishment for my sins, was laid up on the lamb of God. 2.000 years ago.

The Messiah carried my sins on the cross at Calvary Hill in Jerusalem.

If a shepherd stop teaching the flock about sin and repentance, such a man is longer a servant of the Messiah. God’s problem with man is sin, and there is no place for such inside the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sin is a punishable offense against the Holy God. It leads to death, judgment and eternal suffering and pain in Hell.

 Genesis 4:13
Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear.
  Psalm 81:15
Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

I do not stand a chance in the court of judgment. But thank to the Messiah, I am not facing the punishment that I deserve. Because on the cross on Calvary Hill in Jerusalem,Yeshua the Messiah took the punishment that I should face. He paid in full for my sins, with His own blood.

 Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

When someone has paid your bill, you do not need to pay it.  Jesus has paid the bill for all of us. He only demands that we shall believe, that it is His blood alone, that paid in full.  No on else can save you. Nothing else than the blood ofJesus from Nazareth will do the needful.

I will forever praise Him and honor Him. He is God, and my Lord.

If you reject Him, you are in trouble.  Deep trouble. Because you are not able to pay for your sins, and will get the eternal punishment you deserve.

 Matthew 25:46“
Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Up till today, mercy and grace is freely available for all. God the Father do not need to punish us, because His only begotten Son took our punishment. But as we approach the end, the age of mercy will end. And the age of divine judgment will begin.

This age is also called the Great Tribulation.

In this age, Jesus will no longer cover up for those who have served Satan. An armada of evil spirits will take mankind for a ride. The impostors will go from bad to worse. All slaves of sin, will participate in, or at least support Sodomy and perversions.

God’s wrath will be poured out on all flesh, and only the Children of God will be rescued. This divine moment of rescue is also called by many for “the rapture”.

  1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

For all who reject the Messiah, there is no hope.

  Jude 1:7
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

If you want to escape the coming wrath of God, you need to surrender to the only salvation available.

Only Jesus the Messiah has died for your sins. Surrender to Him today, and accept His Lordship over your life. Amen.

He is alive. He is risen.
