The Price He Paid

We BECOME children, SONS and DAUGHTERS of YHWH, through the Blood of HIS Messiah, Y’shua. We are all creations of YHWH, but not all are children of YHWH. Only through the repentance of Sin and believing in your heart concerning Y’shua (life, death, resurrection, and ascension) can one be given the right of becoming a Child of YAH (John 1:12). All paths DO NOT lead to The Father. There is only ONE way! Y’shua said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God” (John 3:16-21)

“This one (Y’shua) is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:11-12).

What an undeserved blessing it is to become a Son or Daughter of the Most-High! Through Y’shua, we become royalty! He bore the weight of our transgressions and was crushed for it. It wasn’t the whip that crushed Him. It wasn’t the physical and verbal abuse He had to endure. It wasn’t the crown of thorns placed upon His head. It wasn’t even the nails being driven into his wrists, which held His broken body on the tree. No. It was my transgressions that crushed Him. It was your transgressions that crushed Him. Yet, He bore it all! Let every breath you take be a reminder of the debt He paid so that we could become sons and daughters of the King!

“Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:1-12).

“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:6-7)

Let’s honor Him daily by contending for the faith and striving after holiness! He is worthy of ALL praise, honor, and glory! Die to yourself, but be alive in Messiah! Let those with eyes to see, SEE and with ears to hear, HEAR. Amen.
