Jul 25, 2024 · On the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserved for our sin. He did not deserve to die, but He willingly took our place and experienced death for us. Jesus’ death was a substitution, “the righteous for the unrighteous” (1 Peter 3:18), the innocent for the guilty, the perfect for the corrupt.

Sep 29, 2022 · When we speak of Jesus taking our place on the cross, it means He took upon all of our sins and willingly died the death we deserved in order for us to be forgiven of our sins, receive a repaired relationship with Him, and have the gift of eternal life.
Jul 17, 2024 · The doctrine of substitutionary atonement teaches that Christ suffered vicariously, standing in for the sinner, and that His sufferings were expiatory (meaning His sufferings made amends). On the cross, Jesus took our place in various ways: Jesus took our place by becoming sin for us.
As the song says, “I stood condemned to die, but Jesus took my place. He bore it all that I with him might live.” Is that really what happened? Did Jesus “become sin” for us in the sense that he took the guilt of sin on himself so that he was punished instead of us? Did God actually separate himself from Jesus while he was on the cross?

Beginning with the beautiful great hymn of faith about the place where my Savior was crucified. This is an upbeat hymn and is especially wonderful when accompanied by an energetic pianist.

Here is another favorite hymn, one which is more of a ballad and sung in a way that is reflective of just what Jesus did at the cross. I look forward to the day that I stand before His throne, complete in Him recalling “Jesus died my soul to save, my lips shall still repeat” Enjoy this updated version of this hymn in the video below featuring the v...
This lovely praise song reminds us that it is Jesus’ love and mercy are deep and unfailing. The singer urges us to “be still” because God is our refuge, strengthand He is faithful. The lyrics in the chorus are my favorite: “I lift my hands to believe again You are my refuge You are my strength As I pour out my heart These things I remember You are ...
This is one of my favorite praise songs. It has a lovely melody and even better lyrics. It is a prayerful plea that the Lord will lead me to remember that I belong to Him and there is nothing on this earth that compares to His love. My favorite few words in this song “Everything I once held dear I count it all as loss”remind me of Paul’s words to t...
One of my daughter’s favorite Christian bands at this time is Tenth Avenue North. When I asked her to share some of her favorite songs about the cross this is one of them that she listed. It speaks of the Water that quenches our thirst and our Father that gives rest. But mostly is speaks of that special and unconditional “Love” that comes only from...
This song was released Kari Jobe in 2010 and it speaks of the precious blood of Jesus that was shed for all at the cross. The words of the chorus stay with me all day when I sing this song. They hold special meaning to the life of every believer. “O the blood of Jesus washes me O the blood of Jesus shed for me What a sacrifice that saved my life Ye...
Jeremy Riddle, along with his rhythm guitar looks and clings to the cross in this upbeat and wonderful praise song. I challenge anyone to sing this song without feeling the impact of the priceless gift that Jesus gave to us on the cross. He did not have to die but He willing did it in obedience to the Father. Sing along with this video:
This current praise song includes the words and music from When I survey the wondrous cross by hymnist Isaac Watts and then includes some equally lovely words about the wonderful cross. I include this in my worship sets often in church. My favorite words have never grown old even though they were penned by Mr. Watts in 1707: “Were the whole realm o...
Jeremy Camp has some of the best songs about the cross today. He asks if you would take the place of “This Man” or if you would take the nails from His hands. These are both excellent questions to contemplate as we meditate upon the depth of His grace. This Man is Jesus my Savior. I love Him and without Him I am nothing.
Another one of my daughters did a report on the music of Fanny Crosby when she was in our home school. Now every time I hear a Fanny Crosby song I remember my little girl who shared such great information about this hymnist who did not let anything stop her from writing about her Savior, not even blindness. The Gospel is clearly contained in the la...
