You and I, have a great burden, load, or weight, something in which is very heavy, that we can not bear alone. This burden that needs lifted from our shoulders for us is the deadly weight of sin - 1 John 3:4

 

All of us have this weight of sin on our shoulders - Romans 3:10, 23

 

Jesus bore all the weight of sin on the cross that we might live. We stood condemned to die, but Jesus freely died our place that we might live - 1 Peter 2:24

 

Before Jesus went to the cross, and during His crucifiction, He bore many things:

• He bore the mocking of the solders who stripped Him of His clothes and platted a crown of thorns on His head saying, "Hail King of the Jews" - Matthew 27:27-31
   
• He bore the physical pain and shame of crucifixion and the cruel mocking of the Jews - Matthew 27:39-43
   
• He also bore ridicule from of one of the malefactors crucified with Him - Luke 23:39

 

Why did Jesus have to bear it all for the sins of the world?

 

Because, almost all things, by the law, are purged by shedding blood - Hebrews 9:22

 

The animal sacrifices of the Law of Moses were not sufficient to take away sins - Hebrews 10:1-4

 

This is why Jesus offered himself once for the sins of the world. He is the perfect sacrifice for sin - Hebrews 9:28

 

Jesus bore it all to break the chains and bonds of sin and to set us, as captives to sin, free

 

Jesus bore it all to conquer sin and death, so those that would believe and obey Him would be saved - John 3:16

 

The Holy Spirit, along with Jesus, is pleading with you to come that you might live - Revelation 22:17

 

Please respond to this pleading and accept the Salvation that God offers in Jesus:  Hear - Believe - Repent - Confess - Be Baptized
