This may be a well-worn way of explaining Jesus' death on the cross - but I came across it the other day, and hadn't heard it before, so thought it might be new to you, too.
When Jesus died on the cross, He was cursed:
'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." ' Galatians 3 v 13
But we can get rid of the 'S' from curse, because Jesus defeated 'S'atan and dealt with 'S'in. As a result, Jesus becomes our cure. If we put our trust in Jesus, He makes it possible for our sins to be forgiven and for us to be friends with God.
The name 'Jesus' is often used as a swear word, a curse. But He came to die, to cure us from the results of our sin.
What is Jesus for you? Curse or cure?
