Jesus, Our SubstituteChrist also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. This may sound scandalous and outrageous, but more than two thousand years ago, Jesus became our substitute and “suffered once for [our] sins, the righteous for the unrighteous” (1 Peter 3:18). May we rejoice and find comfort and confidence in this profound truth: Only by the substitutionary death of Jesus can we—sinners in need—have a relationship with and complete spiritual access to our loving God. What does it mean for you to have access to God and eternal life because of Jesus' death on the cross? Dear Jesus, thank You for dying in my place so that I might have access to God.
