Before we celebrate the love of Christ, let us first remember the cost of that love. He was wounded for us. He was bruised for us. He carried what we deserved, so that we could receive what we did not deserve—grace, forgiveness, and salvation.

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Fellow Christians, what comes to your mind after reading this verse?
