Why Christ Was Cursed

Read:  Psalm 72 / Proverbs 23 / Deut. 21 / James 4

 

Psalm 72:16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth… the fruit thereof… shall flourish like grass of the earth.

Proverbs 23:17,18 Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long… there is an end… thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Deuteronomy 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree… for he that is hanged is accursed of God. 

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

 

A handful whom the Lord has sent

Have flourished like the grassy waves.

They call for sinners to repent

And turn to Jesus Christ who saves.

 

This is our joyful expectation,

Since Christ was cursed to take our place

To rescue us from condemnation

And save us with His wondrous grace.
