John 19 - Look and Live
“...Behold the Man!” “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, Even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 19:5, 3:14-15) Look Jesus said it would come to pass, His suffering and death on Calvary’s cross. He planned it all out from the world’s very start; ‘Twas the only way possible to cleanse fallen hearts. He chose how it would be, and what He would do, And all of the details He already knew. He wanted the world His death to behold, To witness the plan of redemption unfold. So I come to the cross, knowing not what to say In response to what justice and love did that day. Isaiah speaks well: it was my sin He bore, My griefs that He carried, my stripes His flesh tore. Live And when I beheld Him, and His Truth believed, My sin was forgiven, and pardon received. He stands today the victorious Lord, Risen from death,
