Isaiah 53:5 says "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."The purpose of the Cross for us is eternal healing and life everlasting with the One, the Son of God, who forsake it all for each and everyone of us.
Listen to the words in this song Hero by Abandon:
Abandon - Hero
From the album Searchlights
He walked the dirty streets
Famous for nothing
He said “come follow me” and they came
A face like all the rest
But something was different
The Son of God would lead the way
And soon they all would say
(Chorus)
There He goes - a hero
A Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love He gave His life
so we could be free
The Savior of the world
He spoke with clarity
Walked across the sea
A single word would calm the storm
His touch could heal the sick
but He was called a hypocrite
Laid behind the stone
His death was shortly mourned
He left the curtain torn
(Chorus)
There He goes - a hero
A Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love He gave His life
so we could be free
The Savior of the world
He chose to take the cross
Shed tears for the lost
The broken and the needy
Forgiving those who were and will be
The angel made it clear
He told them have no fear
He's not here, He's not here
(Chorus)
There He goes - a hero
A Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love He gave His life
so we could be free
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world
1 Timothy 1:12-17 - Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners
"I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."Is your hope in Christ is a certainty? Is it an absolute truth? Is Christ your Hero?
