DAY 32
Chasing Jesus - Day 32
Day 32 Scripture:
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 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. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Romans 5:6–11
Prayer Prompt: At the Right Time Christ Died for the Ungodly
Jesus surrendered his life while the world he came to save mocked and hated him. As the religious elite called him a false prophet and a deceiver and his own people despised him he gave himself over to experience the wrath of God. His love and goodness is beyond the scope of our understanding. Where we hold petty grudges and seek our own comfort perpetually he embodied sacrificial love pouring himself out for the sake of unworthy undeserving people like you and me. As we continue to look forward to the cross, rejoice at the incomprehensible love of Jesus.
