His Blood Shed For Us

This Holy Week I have been reflecting on the importance of forgiveness.  It was not of my own choosing, I believe it was placed on my heart by God.  Jesus speaks to it throughout the Gospels, and in The Lord's Prayer. He spoke of it on the cross.

"Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." 

Luke 23:34

FORGIVENESS

While on the cross, in the midst of his deep indescribable suffering for the sins of this world, he still could ask his Father to forgive those who crucified Him.  He knew he was fulfilling His purpose.  He died for us.  For the forgiveness of our sins. 

FORGIVENESS

Do you have trouble forgiving yourselves?  When you kneel at the altar on bended knee and the pastor tells you that your sins are forgiven do you truly take it in.  Do you truly believe it.  Do you let them go?  Because THIS is why Jesus died on the cross.  His blood was shed for your sins.  As Marci Alborghetti expressed in the Daily Guidepost devotional, we are letting go of what is no longer ours~~what Jesus went through to take from us.  

FORGIVENESS

This is my blood

shed for
