TRANSCRIPT
Jesus Chose the Cross—Jesus Died for You and Me ‘For by the death of Christ we are set free, that is
our sins are forgiven.’
Ephesians 1 v7 (GNB)
‘By Jesus’ sacrificial death we are now put right
with God.’
Romans 5 v 9a (GNB)
Jesus, God’s Son, went to the cross for you and me.
Jesus paid the price for this gift of grace with His
life. Grace = gift of undeserved love.
What did Jesus do when He was on the cross?
Jesus looked on the soldiers who had tortured Him and prayed, ‘Forgive them,
Father! They don’t know what they are doing.’ Luke 23v34 (GNB).
Jesus was dying on the cross for your sins and mine, forgiving those who had
nailed Him to the cross—what amazing grace. Oswald Chambers, writer and
teacher, wrote that, ‘forgiveness...cost the agony of Calvary.’
Jesus suffered a death we cannot imagine for us. Three days later Jesus came
back to life. Jesus’ gift to us is new life and new hope. Jesus wants us to turn to
Him in faith and be put right with God. This gift is available to us every day.

I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of His glories and
grace. I will boast of all His kindness to me. Let all you are discouraged take heart. Let us
praise the Lord together and exalt His name. Psalm 34 vs 1-3 (TLB)
