His shed blood and His broken body

Communion service reminds us of what our Savior did to save us. In this service, we are reminded of the price of our salvation - His shed blood and His broken body. The question many have asked throughout history is ‘why Jesus allowed himself to be bound and crucified by evil men?’ The great theologian, Spurgeon, gives the answer, “As Isaac was bound before he was laid on the altar, so Jesus, the great antitype, was bound before he was nailed to the cross. He could have snapped those bonds as easily as Samson snapped the Philistines’ bonds, but there were other invisible cords that bound him – the bonds of his own oath and promise, the bonds of his love for you and me. These constrained Jesus to yield himself to the Jews and Pilate as a lamb to the slaughter.” Church, thank God for his sacrifice for you and for me. Amen.
