Surely he took up our
infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he
was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon
him, and by his wounds we are healed.

If we are Christians and we understand what the cross means
for our eternal existence, why then do we act contrary to that reality. Why do we continue to grieve Christ by adding
more sin on the cross? A Christian who continues to sin is worse than
a sinner who has never known the truth of the gospel. Christ wasn’t wounded for nothing! His wounds equal our healing. And yet time and time again we continue to go
back to the very thing Christ died to heal us from. Jesus suffered, bled and died for us all. The Cross is where we all deserve to be.
So ask yourself the following questions:
Are you healed? Are you really serious about how you are
living? Are you only a child of God when
it’s convenient? Are you willing to cut
off those things that Christ died for?
Ask yourself these questions each day and then answer them!
Do not answer them with words. Rather
answer them with each action and breath you take. Remember GOD gave his best for
you! He healed you and sacrificed to save you when you couldn’t save yourself. Live a life of expression!
I love you always and in all ways.
Rev M. Harrison
