Galatians 3:13 New International Version (NIV)
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by
becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on
a pole.”
Cursed! Not just in the sense that he was mocked and his
detractors cursed at him, but in the sense that he received the curse of death
because of our sin. He did what was hideous and scandalous; he died on a Cross
— hung to a tree in front of a jeering mob, executed like sub-human scum. But
the beauty of his shame and disgrace is that God made it our redemption. Jesus'
ridicule and curse bought us freedom from the curse of our own sins. Praise
God! Praise Jesus!
Thought for today:
Do I allow God to turn my curse and shame into my strength or do I indulge in
the “pity party”?
