Why Christ Was Cursed

Read:  Psalm 98 / Proverbs 12 / Jeremiah 42 / Gal. 3

 

Psalm 98:1-3 ~ He hath done marvelous things… The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed… He hath remembered his mercy and his truth. 

Proverbs 12:28 ~ In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

Jeremiah 42:18,21 ~ Thus saith the LORD of hosts… ye shall be… a curse, and a reproach… I have this day declared itto you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God. 

Galatians 3:13,14 ~ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law… that the blessing of Abraham might come.

 

The Lord has openly displayed

The righteousness of His salvation,

For all of us like sheep had strayed

And thus, deserved His condemnation. 

 

We know why Christ was cursed for us:

His love could never be denied.

His grace and truth are marvelous

By which the curse was satisfied!
