The modern view of the death of Jesus is that He died for our sins out of sympathy. The New Testament view is that He bore our sin not by sympathy, but by identification. He was made to be sin. Our sins are removed because of the death of Jesus, and the explanation of His death is His obedience to His Father, not His sympathy with us. We are acceptable with God not because we have obeyed, or because we have promised to give up things, but because of the death of Christ, and in no other way. We say that Jesus Christ came to reveal the Fatherhood of God, the lovingkindness of God; the New Testament says He came to bear away the sin of the world.

Today we have been blessed, well also day before yesterday.
A couple of days ago we were given a riding lawnmower that just needs a new tire and some tinkering, and a old car! The car will be looked at by my hubby
tonight or tomorrow and if he can use it it is ours. It is a old stick shift that isn't lovely looking but will be good for commuting. Then this morning I
got a call from a local appliance store that someone has bought us a washer and they want to deliver it today. I almost passed out. Ours was dying so is the
dryer but I can live without a dryer but to wash our clothes we would sometimes have to run it through 3 cycles, and then they weren't very clean. So ya!!!!
Then my hubby called and said that he was just given a high quality air purifier by the lady he is making a web page for (she sells them). We had also
received a wonderful water purifier from her when jeff took the job 3 months back. She is so happy with the page that she felt that the water purifier was
not enough.
Praise the Lord. We did know how we were going to get a new washer.
Just had to share.
Blessings,debra
