| The view outside my window drew my mind right to Isaiah 1:18. Though my sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow.Wow.No wonder it’s called the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. No wonder it’s called the peace which transcends all understanding.Do you guys realize how gnarly that is? Every mistake you’ve ever made… gone. Every stupid decision… gone. As far as the east is from the west, that’s how far He removes our transgressions from us. That’s what happens when we put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.If you’re looking back on your past with guilt or shame, you’re not living for all that Jesus died for you to have! He took our sin, He took our guilt, He took our shame. He took it all on that cross and he said IT IS FINISHED. You don’t need to take my word for it. Instead, get into God’s word. If you’ve got hang-ups or hurts in your past, I want to encourage you today to read 1 Peter 2:24. If you don’t have a physical Bible handy, download the YouVersion app and you can read it there. No excuses! I’d love to hear what you think of that verse. |
