He Bears Our Iniquities

By

Good morning

 Scripture reading: Isaiah 53

Praise song: Nailed To The Cross

 


Meditation:

    Isaiah's prophetic declarations about Jesus Christ in Isaiah 50:6 and Isaiah 53, written centuries before the Messiah's birth, were fulfilled in the life and death of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Out of immense love, Jesus, though perfect and without sin, laid down his life and took upon Himself the burden of our transgressions so we could be set free. The magnitude of his penalty revealed his willingness to sacrifice himself, as He endured the extreme pain of physical suffering. 

    Through the use of graphic and detailed imagery, the movie 'The Passion of the Christ' portrays the immense suffering and agony Jesus endured as the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. He was rejected and abandoned, mocked, laughed to scorn, spit upon, pierced for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. He voluntarily gave his back to the smiters, who scourged him with a flagrum until his flesh was exposed. After forcing a crown of thorns upon Jesus head, the soldiers taunted Him, using a reed to repeatedly strike him on his head. How can we disregard so great a sacrifice? Jesus took upon himself the punishment we deserve for sin, nailing them to the cross to reconcile us to God and bring us peace.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, I am wholeheartedly grateful to you for sending your son Jesus Christ to pay the debt we owe. I have searched and have not found greater love among humanity than your love, Lord Jesus. Father, I cannot fathom such immense unwavering, unconditional love, for us a people that are stiff-necked, rebellious, and disobedient. Here I stand, O God, so unworthy of the price you paid; yet your sacrifice awards me right to the tree of life. I am profoundly grateful to you, Lord, for surrendering your life on the cross to secure my freedom. Into your hands, I commit my life, O God, surrendering to you completely. At the altar, I humble bow, O God, where my soul is healed by your scars, and the weight of guilt I bear no more. Gracious God, I give you all the glory for the salvation I have received through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

 Shalom. ✌💞🙏

    When we pray God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine , in his own time and in his own way. Blessed morning. How many times must I prove how much I love you. How many ways must my love for you I show. How many times must I rescue you from trouble. For you to know just how much I love you. Pray with me. Dear God, thank you for your endless love and countless blessings. I am grateful for your presence in my life and for the strength, peace, and joy you provide each day.Help me to always remember your goodness and to live with a heart full of gratitude. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen. Stay blessed. 🙌🏾

Be Not Afraid

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 2 Worship song: Not Afraid   Meditation:      The Lord God commissioned Prophet Ezekiel to deliver a stern and unwavering message to the children of Israel, regardless of whether they chose to listen or rebel. God empowered, equipped, and strengthened him for the assigned task, instructing him not to be intimidated by the harshness or hostility of the rebellious, stiff-necked Israelites. This highlights God's divine mercy, relentless grace, unconditional love, and persistence in reaching out to humanity despite their unfaithfulness and rebellious attitude. God always sent his servants to forewarn before destruction, desiring that everyone repent and avoid eternal judgment.       There is no servant commissioned by God that is not fully prepared for the assigned task. He empowers the willing and obedient hearts. When God mandates you for an assignment, he provides the necessary grace, wisdom, and st...

Letting Go And Let God

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5: 6-7 Worship song: Take Me Back   Meditation:      When faced with difficulties or a pressing issue we cannot resolve, we tend to become agitated and unsettled. The inability to change a situation immediately leads to worry, anxiety, and frustration. We often forget that God is fully aware of our situations and has the power to change them. By placing our trust in Almighty God rather than our own strength, we unlock divine, boundless potential that far exceeds our highest hopes or requests. God is powerful enough to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ever ask or think.       When we trust God and seek his divine power and use the spiritual authority He has given us, we can command our obstacles to move, and they will. Today, if you are faced with a burning issue, let go and let God. When you are faced with a challenging circumstance, be still, knowing that God is capable. Cast your cares...
