"WHAT IS GRACE 2"

There is a lot of likeness in a bull fight and what happened to Jesus Christ!
C’mon man! Don’t tell me that!
Yes! Listen:
The Old Testament says that there use to sacrifice to God innocent victims
in a holocaust, the people use to lay their hands on it before being sacrificed,so their sins were transferred to the victim, and be able to get rid of them.
They sacrificed bulls, sheep and other pure animals.
In the case of the bull fight, they sacrifice an innocent victim it is true,but not offered to God but to the pleasure an entertainment.
The same thing happened with Jesus, but instead of laying their hands on him,they were hitting him,instead of praying to him,they were insulting him!
Instead of kissing him, they were spitting at him, and so on!
Thorns were sink on his head! Nails were drilling his hands and feet,
and after that, they hung him on a cross that portraits as a long sword
in his back!
And then, piercing him on his side with a spear spreading his blood all over,and without complaint at all, He was willing to die for all to save them!
What a man! What a God!
He died for all of us that offend God violating his Laws!
Hopping we recognize our sins, and change our direction toward the Almighty God Creator of heaven and earth!
“O God, the blood of bulls and goats cannot satisfy You, so You have made
me born in a human flesh to offer it to You as a sacrifice upon the altar”
“You were not satisfied with the animal sacrifices, slain and burnt before You, as a sacrifice for sin.”
“Here I come my Lord to give my life as the scriptures said I would do”
Hebrews 10 : 5 and 7.
If somebody asks you: What is Grace?
And you answer: It is like a bull fight!
You miss completely the point of the subject! Because:
Grace is Love! Grace is Mercy!Grace is forgiveness,Grace is Salvation!

“GRACE IS THE MERCY WE RECEIVE DIRECTLY FROM GOD,
WHEN WE ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE OF HIS SON AS A FULL
PAYMENT FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS”
And then…
And then: We humbly call Him: LORD!

PRAISE THE LORD!
