We Find Our Way
No Matter the Challenges
Since Jesus Himself
Makes Us
Whole
Isaiah 53:5
He was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Words of Grace For Today
We can of course try really hard to make things right, for ourselves, and for others if we are so inclined to care, though I’ve met some people as I’m sure you have, who do not want to make it right for others at all, not at all. They make it as bad for others as they can, with lies, corruption, and false convictions.
Our efforts to make it right are simply not enough, not ever. We cannot make it right, not right enough, no matter how hard we try. God help us,
literally, for there simply is no other way to make it right, not right enough.
Jesus, though, has already made it right, very right, more than right, for Jesus makes everything right for us with God, and then …
then everything is right for us.
And those people who want to do us as much destruction as possible are kept far enough away that we are safe, as safe as ever, as safe as ever.
For our sake God made Jesus to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
So we are healed and made whole, for yet another day, another way, another life given to us again, though we certainly do not deserve it. So it is by Grace another gift of life, love and hope …
at great cost to Jesus.
