**IT WAS FOR LOVE OF YOU THAT HE OFFERED HIS LIFE**
- For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
- For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
- "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- "This is [Agape] love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Luke 23:34 (Amplified Bible)
And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing His clothes among themselves.

LYRICS by LETRA
Fue por amor
Ahora entiendo porqué
diste tu vida por mí,
dejaste todo el poder
para venir a morir.
Ahora entiendo porqué
llevaste a cuesta esa cruz,
y soportaste el dolor
que el pecador mereció.
Coro:
Fue por amor que su vida ofreció,
fue por salvar a esta humanidad,
de la opresión y del yugo eternal;
fue por amor que quiso morir.
Jerusalén vio la sangre correr,
y clavado en la cruz se reían de Él,
pero fue por amor,
sólo por amor,
¡POR AMOR A TI!
Ahora entiendo porqué
Él murió y resucitó,
exhaltemos hoy al Rey,
que a la muerte ya veció.
Ahora entiendo porqué
llevaste a cuesta esa cruz
y soportaste el dolor
que el pecador mereció.

It Was for Love
Now I understand why
you gave your life for me,
you relinquished all power
to come and die.
Now I understand why
you carried that cross,
and endured the pain
that the sinner deserved.
Chorus:
It was for love that he offered his life,
it was to save this humanity,
from oppression and the eternal yoke;
it was for love that he wanted to die.
Jerusalem saw the blood flow,
and nailed to the cross they laughed at him,
but it was for love,
only for love,
FOR LOVE OF YOU!
Now I understand why
he died and rose again,
let us exalt the King today,
who has already conquered death.
Now I understand why
you carried that cross
and endured the pain
that the sinner deserved.

Isaiah 53
Amplified Bible
1. Who has believed [confidently trusted in, relied on, and adhered to] our message [of salvation]? And to whom [if not us] has the arm and infinite power of the LORD been revealed?
2. For He [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender shoot (plant), And like a root out of dry ground; He has no stately form or majestic splendor That we would look at Him, Nor [handsome] appearance that we would be attracted to Him.
3. He was despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and pain and acquainted with grief; And like One from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or esteem Him.
4. But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains; Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him].
5. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.

The Suffering Servant
(Acts 8:26–40; 1 Peter 2:21–25)
1Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?a
2He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no stately form or majesty to attract us,
no beauty that we should desire Him.
3He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.
Like one from whom men hide their faces,
He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
4Surely He took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows;b
yet we considered Him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.
5But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him,
and by His stripes we are healed.c
6We all like sheep have gone astray,d
each one has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid upon Him
7He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
8By oppression and judgment He was taken away,
and who can recount His descendants?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;e
He was stricken for the transgression of My people.
A Grave Assigned
(Matthew 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; Luke 23:50–56; John 19:38–42)
9He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with a rich man in His death,
although He had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in His mouth.f
10Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him
and to cause Him to suffer;
and when His soul is made a guilt offering,g
He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days,
and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11After the anguish of His soul,
He will see the light of lifeh and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many,
and He will bear their iniquities.
12Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great,i
and He will divide the spoils with the strong,j
because He has poured out His life unto death,
and He was numbered with the transgressors.k
Yet He bore the sin of many
and made intercession for the transgressors.
