When in January 13 2001 a powerful earthquake destroy my parents house and everything that they had worked for their entire lives was gone in minutes . I realized that I need to do something , So I decided to immigrate to the US . I risked my life crossing illegally the mexican border and then the US border and walking in the desert for three days knowing that many people dont make it . For the first time in my life I was away from my family and for the first time I was afraid . I remember praying silently for God to bless me and that I would serve him all my life . Unfortunately , I forgot about God but he never forgot about me . In the same way , the nation of Israel , Adam , Noah and every human being has failed to fulfill the requirement of the covenant but Jesus coming to die for us , Has taken our place . As Ellen White says " He was treated as we deserved so that we might be treated as he deserves " In ancient near stern culture , the covenants were made by the cutting of animals and pronouncing the stipulations , promises , blessings and curses but even though we failed our part , Jesus redeemed us by fulfilling our part !! Isaiah says talking about Mesiah
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
All I can say is what a savior !
