There Is Room At The Cross For You

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

An unsaved man who was deeply troubled by his sins was having a vivid dream in which he saw Jesus being savagely whipped by a soldier. As the cruel scourge came down upon Christ’s back, the onlooker shuddered, for the terrible cords left ugly, gaping wounds upon His bleeding, swollen body. When the soldier raised his arm to strike the Lord again, the man rushed forward to stop him. As he did, the soldier turned, and the dreamer was startled to see his own face!

The man awoke in a cold sweat, conscious that his sin had inflicted this grievous punishment on the Saviour. As he thought of Christ’s suffering, he remembered the verse in Isaiah, “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”  

Suddenly the man realized that sinners like him could go free because of what the Saviour did at Calvary. At that moment he trusted Christ as his Saviour, and his troubled heart found peace.

If you are struggling under the weight of sin, turn to Jesus and accept what He did for you on the cross of Calvary.  There truly is room for you at the cross.

Reflection—Christ’s sufferings were the remedy for all the ills that flesh is heir to.
