The Saviour King

Sorry i couldn't come up with a more appropriate title, but that's all i can think of.

So today I've been reminded of Jesus and God's great act that they both took part and not just because it's Easter time and i'm thinking about it because of that; it just happened.

In my bible study, today I learned about the flood. It wasn't some solution to sin, because there was still sin after, it was just judgement. I've seen that God does not tolerate sin that He is to be feared, that sin comes with severe punishment. And this didn't come to me in a bad way, but for some reason I was in awe of God.

And then I was listening to "Saviour King" by Hillsong just the title is great. So the Father and Son, above all creation, came to save us. On that cross something great happened. The Father turned all His wrath onto His Son, because His Son bore the sins of all of us. To think how the sins of the people of the beginning was deserving of a flood, think of how great the wrath is that comes with every single sin of everyone that ever lived and will live. The Father loved the Son so much, but He had to pour out all His wrath on His Son... and as He did He looked away because of all the sins His Son bore. The Son cried out "Why have you forsaken me?" even though He well knew, but it hurt so much. And when it was finished, He died.

Now He has risen and He is exalted high! Seated now with His Father. He who saved us is now Lord of all. He truly is the Saviour King.
