by taking our punishment,

he made us completely well.

these are the words I am singing loud in my heart today

“I come broken to be mended

I come wounded to be healed

I come desperate to be rescued

I come empty to be filled

I come guilty to be pardoned

by the blood of Christ alone

and I’m welcomed with open arms

praise God

just as I am”

The cross is all of him and none of me. It solves the problem of my failing and it reminds me I am the undeserved benefactor of the greatest inheritance and adoption of all time. I am rescued and I am bought with a price and I will never be worthy of being called the daughter of the King – but that is what I am, because of Jesus.

May your Good Friday find you in awe of the wonder of the greatest ransom and rescue story of all time and may you know the great joy of being bought for the family of God.
