April 14th – 1 Peter 2:24-25

1 Peter 2:24-25

With each strike of the whip, the flesh of Jesus was savagely ripped open. Bruised, bloody, and beaten beyond recognition, the suffering Christ endured was beyond compare. Only to be followed by an agonizing, criminal’s death on the Cross. And Jesus suffered all of this for us. He willingly took our flogging, beating, and death. He bore our sins and paid our debt, so we could be free. Because of the Lord’s shed blood, no longer are we condemned, dead in our trespasses, and trapped in the bondage of sin. By His wounds we have been healed from the penalty, poison, and price of sin. Because with every stripe our Savior endured, He paid in full every sin we have or will commit. Through His glorious death and resurrection, we are free to live a righteous life that glorifies Christ and His amazing sacrifice!

August 7th – Psalm 147:3

Psalm 147:3

During the pandemic, we gained a new appreciation for health care workers. Those who everyday answered the call to help the suffering. As Christians, we have the greatest frontline worker of all, God. He is on call 24-7 ready, willing, and able to rush to the rescue of all who call upon Him for help. And there is no injury, beyond His healing. No matter what hurts, God can bind the injury, and ease the pain. He is our Father in heaven who loves us with an unfathomable and unending love. And when His children hurt, He wants us to come to Him,  o appointment needed! To trust in His love, grace, and ability to cure our minds, bodies, and spirits, of all wounds. When we turn to Him, God will wrap us in His arms of love and mending. He will give us rest and recuperation. And best of all, His mending leaves no scar, is free of charge, and leaves us better off than we were before we were hurt!

March 13th – Acts 3:19

Acts 3:19

When Peter healed the lame beggar, the people were amazed. But Peter wanted them, and us, to know that this healing is available to all. For the man’s deliverance came through the name of Jesus Christ, the name above all others. Believing in His name and authority, can heal every affliction in our souls. Because when return to the Lord in confession and repentance, He is faithful to both heal and restore us back to Himself. And we too will experience times of refreshing and will rejoice in His salvation.
