Good day to my blog friends.
I have been praying through the thoughts of personal and corporate sin and the understanding that Christ out of His obedience to His father took care of it.
I came across this, Charles Spurgeon put it magnificently when he said, “Christ became like a reservoir in the midst of the mountains. All the tributary streams of iniquity, and every drop of the sins of His people, ran down and gathered into one vast lake, deep as hell and shoreless as eternity. All these met, as it were in Christ’s heart, and He endured them all”.
Was He not on earth always stripping off first one robe of honor and then another, till naked, He was nailed to the cross, and there did He not empty out His innermost self, pouring out His life-blood, giving up for all, till they laid Him penniless in a borrowed grave? How low was our Redeemer brought!
Stand at the foot of the cross, and count the red drops by which you have been cleansed; see the crown of thorns; mark His scourged shoulders, see His hands and feet given up to the rough iron, and His whole self to mockery and scorn; see the bitterness, and the pangs, and the throes of inward grief, showing themselves in His outward frame; hear the thrilling shriek, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Now, know this, Christ loves us so much that we should live our lives to emulate Him. The bible says that in our weaknesses He is strong. Let Christ in your life and see if it doesn’t make a difference. The things that lead you to sin (knowing the difference from right and wrong and doing the wrong things) won’t seem nearly as important any longer. A life in Christ is the smoothest life that anyone can ever find, a life outside of Christ might seem smooth but in reality it is the hardest life that anyone can ever have. How do I know this? I have lived on both sides, and I would not trade where I am in Christ with the other for any reason. One of my life verses is John10:10, and believe me I want that abundant life that that talks about.
John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:9-10 and 1 John 1:9 are some verses that will help you get into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
