Words of Encouragement

 

March - 18 - 2007

 

How do you comprehend both the majesty and the sacrifice of Jesus? We find ourselves amazed, delighted, bewildered, and blessed by His glorious and humble character. The main thing, however, is that He made peace between a perfect heaven and a flawed humanity. He made this peace at a horrific cost, the shedding of his own blood on the torture tree at Calvary. He did this with all of God's pleasure and nature in himself. He did this because of our sin. He did this because of love.

Today's Scripture reading is from Colossians 1:19-20.

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,
20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.

O Father, we are sorry that it took such a great sacrifice to atone for our sins. We are thankful that you loved us so much that you would pay the price for that sacrifice. We praise you for bridging the distance that we could not cover that our sins created between you and us. May you be as pleased with us today and see our lives as a praise for your costly grace.

In Jesus' name.

Amen.
