The Greatest Sacrifice
Whether you believe or not, Jesus died for our sins. His death is a fact from history. His intention is a fact from history.
How many of us would sacrifice ourselves for all mankind? How many of us would endure the excruciating pain and suffering that He did?
Thank Jesus. I am grateful.
The greatest sacrifice

The greatest sacrifice
Was made by Jesus
He died for everyone
To save our souls
He took away our mortal sins
He suffered for our actions
He died and was resurrected
As God above ordained
He is known as Christ
He is known as Messiah
He is known as the lamb
He is known as the Son of God
Thank you Jesus for your love
Thank you for your sacrifice
Thank you God for your mercy
Thank you for your support
We are grateful for your sacrifice
For your suffering and your grace
We are cleansed and purified
Despite being mortal sinners

"Jesus became sin for us and bore our sins in his body on the cross, thus fulfilling the law. 2 Corinthians 5:21: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”"
"Christ was not originally a name but a title derived from the Greek word christos, which translates the Hebrew term meshiah (Messiah), meaning “the anointed one.” This title indicates that Jesus' followers believed him to be the anointed son of King David, whom some Jews expected to restore the fortunes of Israel."
"In Christianity, the lamb represents Christ as both suffering and triumphant; it is typically a sacrificial animal, and may also symbolize gentleness, innocence, and purity. When depicted with the lion, the pair can mean a state of paradise. In addition, the lamb symbolises sweetness, forgiveness and meekness."
