God so loved us that His only begotten son Jesus Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice for all our sins and that we can receive God's compassion, His grace and His love and healing.
In the book of Isiah chapter 53 verses 3 thru 6 gives us a picture of what Jesus Christ took upon Himself when He died on the Cross of Calvary for us.
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. Isaiah 53:3 (KJV)
Surely he hath borne our grief’s [disease, sickness] and carried our sorrows [anguish, affliction, pain]: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4 (KJV)
But he was wounded for our transgressions [anguish, affliction, pain], he was bruised [crushed, batter, break into pieces, crumble, smite, destroy] for our iniquities [our fault, sin, he took our punishment, He took our place]: the chastisement [rebuke, correction, discipline] of our peace [safety, welfare, health, prosperity, favor, whole] was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed [to cure, repair, to make whole] Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)
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. Isaiah 53:6 (KJV)
Not only were our sins forgiven that day but when we asked, believed and confess our sins and received Jesus Christ into our hearts and lives we also received all that Isiah 53:3-5 says. All because of God's Compassion, His Grace and His Love to us. Give God Thanks For All That He Has Done. Amen and Amen.
Remembering What God Has Done
Do you remember the place, the time and the day where you met Jesus and He said to you?
I love you,

and I will never remember them again
Testimony
I remember the day the time and the place when I met and had my born again experience with Jesus Christ; it was on Friday January 18, 1991 at 4:00 am at 6132 West Amelia Street, in Orlando, Florida. When at 2:00 am after over dosing on drugs and taking my last breath and committing suicide, that Jesus took His right hand and pick me up out of the miry clay the very pits of hell; Psalm 40:2 “He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings” and said to me William I love you and I have forgiving your sins and I will no longer remember them from this day forth. That was the day that I received Jesus Christ into my heart as my personnel Lord and Savior and began having a personnel fellowship and relationship with Him..
