Read: Isaiah 53:3-9
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on Him the sins of us all. – Isaiah 53:6
Football games are not decided just by goals, but often by refereeing decisions. In the 1978 World Cup, when Brazil played Sweden, Brazil’s Zico headed a goal from the final corner only to find that the referee had already blown the full-time whistle. It would have been the winner, but the match ended 1-1. Many observers
believed the referee had ended the match prematurely.
But it is not just football history that is affected by bad decisions. At the very centre of human history is the worst decision ever made—to crucify Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a perfect life on earth before God, yet He was killed like a criminal.
Thankfully God knew this would happen. In fact, it was for this very reason Jesus came to this earth. By His death “the Lord laid on Him the sins of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). God was completely in control, even though it looked at the time as if Jesus was a failure. He actually made the necessary sacrifice for us to be able to have forgiveness and friendship with God. On the outside, Jesus’ death looked like a careless decision by the authorities. But it was actually God’s decision to send Jesus to die so that we could have life. Let’s not make a really bad decision and ignore what Jesus did for us. —Chris Wale
The only perfect human being was crucified for our sins.
