Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi
Because of the sufferings of the Lord Jesus Christ we are at ease. Because of His grief, we are consoled.
By His stripes and nailing wounds we are healed. Through perfectly innocent He was apprehended whereby we are delivered. By His humiliation we are given honour. By becoming poor we are made rich.
By His death we are given eternal life. By lying on a manger we are exalted. Through His shed blood we receive the Holy Spirit. He was thirsty which made us no longer thirsty. He was hungry as that we are filled. He was denied and forsaken by the world which made us children of God. Because of the crown of thorn pressed on His head we are to be crowned with eternal crown of life.
He walked through the shadow of death whereby we are made to live in the light. By His untold sufferings He underwent for us, we are made to escape from the horror of eternal hell. He offered Himself to be defeated by sinners for which we are given victory. By His complete obedience to His Father, He paid up our disobedience to God. We are proud and boasting by rejoicing over our would-be eternal life but it is remembered that it is only because of the death of Christ on the cross for us!
