WHAT HE GAVE FOR ME
Today's reading: Leviticus 5:14-7:21, Matthew 27:27-50, Psalm 37:1-6

"Then Jesus shouted out again, and he gave up his spirit." Matthew 27:50 NLT

Jesus gave up His spirit for me.

He permitted His life to pass from His body in order that I might live in Him.

He let go of His very breath so that I might breathe in freely the gift of His salvation.

He laid aside His own for mine.

The Romans didn't take it, thought they like to think they did.

The soldiers couldn't have demanded it, swords, whips and brutality aside.

The crowds didn't force Him to do it, even though He heard their jeers, their shouts, their false accusations.

No one made Him...

He did it for me.
