Day 268 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Isaiah 4-6; Galatians 3)
WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree’” (Galatians 3:13 ESV)
This is the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus took our place and redeemed us from the curse that should follow our breaking of God’s Law. We have disobeyed almighty God, and His response was to send His only begotten Son to redeem us. His death on the cross has bought us back from sin, death and the devil. What wondrous love this truly is!
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
(“What Wondrous Love is This,” Lutheran Service Book, CPH 2006, #543, stanza 1)
Lord Jesus, thank You for bearing the dreadful curse I deserve so the I could be redeemed. May I remember Your wondrous love every day of my life. Amen.
