"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." Rom 5:6-11

Who hath believed our report? 

and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,

And as a root out of a dry ground:

He hath no form nor comeliness;

and when we shall see Him,

there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

He is despised and rejected of men;

A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

and we hid as it were our faces from Him;

He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

Surely He hath borne our griefs,

and carried our sorrows:

yet we did esteem Him stricken,

smitten of God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities:

the chastisement of our peace was upon Him;

and with His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;

we have turned every one to his own way;

and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and He was afflicted,

yet He opened not His mouth:

He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,

so He openeth not His mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment:

and who shall declare His generation?

for He was cut off out of the land of the living:

for the transgression of my people was He stricken.

And He made His grave with the wicked,

and with the rich in His death;

because He had done no violence,

neither was any deceit in His mouth.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;

He hath put Him to grief:

when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin,

He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,

and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.

He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied:

by His knowledge shall My Righteous Servant justify many;

for He shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great,

and He shall divide the spoil with the strong;

because He hath poured out His soul unto death:

and He was numbered with the transgressors;

and He bare the sin of many,

and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53

"To show to the full His love to guilty men, He had to die. His words and works and His holy life were wonderful, but they could not take the sting out of death for us, they could not deliver us from Satan's power, or save us from the just judgment that our sins deserved. To do this, He had to die for us, for without the shedding of blood, there is no remission. Hear what the Scriptures say, 

"Christ also has once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." 

And again, 

"He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." 

And again, 

"When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."

There is a challenge to every one in this saying. What response have you made to the Saviour's approach to you. Consider what He has done. Think of the great love that filled His heart for us when He died for such as we are. I would that we were all like a young Scotchman with whom I talked.

He was an anxious man, a conscience-stricken sinner. I turned him to the verse of Scripture which I have already quoted, Isaiah 53, and explained to him that it spoke of what Jesus suffered on the Cross for sinners, and asked him to put himself into it by changing the plural pronouns into singular ones. He understood me, and read, "He was wounded for MY transgressions, He was bruised for MY iniquities the chastisement of MY peace was upon Him, and with His stripes I —" — then he burst into a big sob and could not finish the verse. I put my arm round him and asked, "What is the matter?" He answered, "I can't understand it, I can't understand why He should have loved me so much as to die for me." My reply was, "Neither can I understand it. And God knew that neither you nor I could understand it, and so He calls it in His Word, the love of Christ that passes knowledge.'"

We must stand by the cross to-day; we are not true disciples unless we do. The cross is not popular in the religious world. Men want a Christ without the cross, and a gospel without blood. As of old they taunted the Lord and said, "Come down from the cross and we will believe," so now they clamour for a Jesus, who is a great and winsome personality, a fearless reformer, a teacher of ethics. There is no such Jesus except in their darkened imaginations. He came to be the Saviour of men, because men were lost sinners, and He could not be the Saviour apart from the cross. It is to the Greek foolishness and to the Jew a stumbling block, and the reproach of it has not ceased, for it still strikes at the foundation of all man's boasting and pride, but to us who are saved it is the power and wisdom of God. Hence we stand by the cross. It is to us the supreme manifestation of the love of Christ that passes knowledge; it is the revelation of God's heart. It was there that our sins were atoned for, there the cup of our judgment was drained to its last drop by our suffering Saviour; there the hatred and sin of men were fully exposed, but there the love of God shone out above it all in all its splendour. We must stand by the cross and let its meaning move our souls; as we do so we shall be consciously the disciples whom Jesus loves, and we shall respond to His love in faithfulness and praise."
