Wounded for Us... Week of April 7, 2019

Isaiah 53:5-6 King James Version (KJV)

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Dear Friends,

 He was wounded for us.  Personally.   The knowledge that the Son of God was wounded for our transgressions is breath taking. 

 The wrong we have done, wounded for us.  The sins we commit, wounded for us.  The future transgressions, handled, wounded for us.   Jesus was wounded for us. 

  The peace we often forfeit. The peace we pursue.  The chastisement of our peace,  the Savior bore.  Jesus. The Great Physician. The stripes He endured secured our healing.  Healer. Jesus. Deliverer. Jesus.  Way Maker. Jesus.  He is our All and All. 

 Although, we wander away from Him at times.  Like sheep we  go astray.  We wander when we forget that His ways are above our own.  His "way" surpasses any path we try to carve out.  God, rich in mercy is forgiving.  All of our iniquity forgiven as we accept His great gift.  Wounded for us.  Praise His Holy Name.
  •  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
  •  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 


                       - Hebrews 2:9-10 King James Version (KJV)


Father God,

We thank you for the gift of Your Son.  We thank you for the sacrifice made on our behalf.  Mighty God, we lift Your Name on high. God in Three Persons. Blessed Trinity.  We magnify You.  Glory to God in the Highest.

Jesus.  He was wounded for us.

in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
