What if God was not merciful and compassionate? Because of our sin He could've caused devestation and disaster to come upon us. He could've wiped us out because we do not obey Him.
Instead He chose to forgive us. He chose to give mercy, love, and compassion. For all the wrongdoings there had to be punishment because He is a just God. He sent His own Son to take that wrath. It is far worse than what is described in this chapter, all taken by a single man. This man saved us and reconciled us to our God. We can now stand free and continue to worship Him.
Thank you Jesus for taking my place. There's nothing that I can do to repay this debt but to simply continue living out a life glorifying God.
