”O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?“
Galatians 3:1 KJV
Paul calls out the Galatians, “What has happened to you foolish Galatians? Who has put you under an evil spell? Did God not open your eyes to see the meaning of Jesus’ crucifixion? Was He not revealed to you as the Crucified One?” The revelation of the Cross had been supernaturally given to the Galatian church, but they were diluting the glorious work of the Cross by adding to it the works of religion. The law had bewitched them to distort the revelation of what the Cross of Christ accomplished in the Galatians. The Cross had been clearly predicted in Scripture and they were still not persuaded by the Truth! Jesus did not die an individual, He died every individual’s death. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Hallelujah!
