His Life Our Ransom

Mark 10:45

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

This week is the week we remember the Passion of Jesus Christ, the last days before His crucifixion and resurrection. I believe it is a good tradition. It helps us to reflect upon the suffering of Jesus Christ, but if we forget the purpose of His suffering, we missed it all. This Passion Week, I pray you will consider the reality that Jesus Christ suffered as our ransom. He was the purchase for our freedom. He did not suffer only to set a moral example; He suffered to free us from our bondage to sin and bring us into the Kingdom of God. Let us, unworthy as we are, rejoice in the suffering of Christ this week. Stay strong and God bless!
