Was Christ's Sacrifice Worth it?

 

Was Christ’s Sacrifice Worth it?

The book of Matthew describes how the people stripped Jesus and put a crown of thorns on His head. They spat on Him, they ridiculed Him, they beat Him, and lastly, they hung Him on the cross naked. Everything that was done to Jesus, all the cruelty, was it worth it? Do we as followers do anything to make Jesus’ sacrifice worth it? We have such a sinful nature, and we live in a sinful world. When I hear about all the bad things that happen in this world, I can’t help but ask, what Jesus did for all of us, including you and me, was it worth it? What do I do with my life to make Jesus’ sacrifice mean what it is meant to be? We should all be asking ourselves this question. Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19.

Do you see? Only those who enter the kingdom of heaven will make Jesus’ death worth it. If we are Christians and we have a relationship with Jesus, then we are also following this commandment. We are out in this sinful world bringing others to Christ. Without doing so, Christ’ death was for nothing. If you haven’t taken up the cross to follow Jesus, now is the time to do so before it is too late.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
