The Graphic Gospel (3): Jesus

JESUS

Jesus Christ came, lived a

perfect life, bore the wrath we

deserved, died in our place,

and rose again, overcoming sin

and death that we would

have life eternal.

For God so loved the world,

that he gave his only Son,

that whoever believes in him should

not perish but have eternal life.

Jn. 3:16 ESV

He himself bore our sins in his

body on the tree, that we might

die to sin and live to

righteousness.

By his wounds you have

been healed.

1 Pt. 2:24 ESV

For our sake he made him

to be sin who knew no sin,

so that in him we might

become the righteousness of God.

2 Cor. 5:21 ESV

For if while we were enemies we were

reconciled to God by the death of his Son,

much more, now that we are reconciled,

shall we be saved by his life.

Rom. 5:10 ESV

While we were still

E N E M I E S

God had mercy upon us.

When we were

D E A D

in our trespasses and sins

God had mercy upon us.

While we were

A L I E N A T E D

and

H O S T I L E

in mind

God had mercy upon us.

In His love

God sent His son Jesus.

He is the propitiation

for our sins;

and not for ours only,

but also for those of the

whole world.

J E S U S

R E C O N C I L E D

us in His body of flesh

by His death.

He suffered.

He took the wrath of God

in our place.

He paid the penalty we deserved

suffered.

He was crucified.

He died.

He was buried.

He was raised on the third day

according to the Scriptures.

J E S U S

presented us holy and

blameless and above

reproach before him.

When we put our faith in

Jesus we were forgiven.

We are forgiven of all our sin.

All of God’s wrath, judgment,

and the condemnation and shame

we deserved was poured

out upon Jesus. He became sin

that we might become the

righteousness of God.

Taking the Truth to Heart

Have you fully considered

all that Jesus accomplished

for you on the cross?
