Thank you!

Blessed be the name of the man who was put to shame for me, all hail King Jesus! The only king, who was every shamed for the sins of so many. How many kings have paid the penalty for the perpetrated? Can you name any? Let me tell you that the Lord Jesus Christ, the king of the Jews, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob paid a penalty that he never had to pay as he chose through an abundance of love to rescue so many trapped by iniquity and paid the price for their sins, my sins! A man who lived a life of sinless perfection, took the punishment of the very thing he had conquered and was tried as a sinner, where he bled and died on Calvary.

We have had people tried and sentenced for crimes they didn’t commit, a flaw of our judicial system. But never with the magnitude of the Lord Jesus’ sacrifice. Accused of breaching the law of God by those who instituted the law of God, the religious rulers of the Jews, what a joke! Hear we have an example which would be good for us to slow down and consider; one of the greatest traps that have mankind fooled into believing their lie, we need an epiphany to see the wood from the trees; “Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?” (Romans 2:3) – It is absolutely phenomenal how blind we can be at times, we believe we deserve so much more, we really believe it, but do we deserve it? Ok, I own the truth that I have blundered more than most, and so maybe this makes it somewhat easier to own, all I ask is that you gawk out into the crowd and scan the faces of all those who accuse others but excuse themselves, are you amongst the number? The judges of the Lord Jesus certainly where. Be that as it may, the brilliance of God the Father’s plan unfolding in accordance with His will. Yes his son to pay the penalty for a breach he never committed. Genius personified! God’s mastermind at play with so many clueless to the brilliance behind it all. The so called wisdom of the world and all its inhabitants running around like chickens without heads, and then we have the spiritual world who were also outsmarted by the only true God, Satan playing into the hands of God.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR DYING FOR ME…

Where is boasting? Have we learnt the lesson yet? It has been excluded, all honour praise and glory belongs to my king, King Jesus. There is nothing we can add to that equation to give it more power, it is a work complete in totality and it is finished. All that now matters is our sin covered by the blood of the Lamb? Are our sins forgiven? We must be absolutely persuaded. If so, we now must learn to walk in the light and it’s when we keep step with the light that teaches us this lesson well. It’s only when we walk in the Spirit that we will have the capacity to put to death the draw and influence of the sin that so easily besets. When I slip and fall what does this prove? The answer is an obvious one, I am not keeping in step with the light. Thank God that through His glorious Word, the Bible’s teachings and the experiences of life when mirrored through the eyes of the Spirit it teaches us about the Way, the Truth and the Life! The brilliance of God! Who can fathom it? But we have the mind of Christ, let’s put it to use.
