Christ Our Substitute

  • Popular
  • A. Craig Troxel

Why do we love the Lord Jesus and some people do not? Isaiah 53 helps us with this question. Many people do not consider Jesus as a Saviour, a winner, a king among kings and a great Lord over lesser lords. Believers not only understand that Jesus suffered, but also know why He suffered. We view Him as our substitute who suffered for us, obtaining salvation for us.

The miracles done by Christ and the apostles are not promised to every believer.
