As we enter into the season that we celebrate the Power of the Resurrection of Jesus, I want you to ask yourself this question.
What Is the Scandal of Your faith?
Jesus Christ is the Way, The Truth and The Life! And it is only through Him that we can come to the Father and by no other!
He is God in the flesh. He was born of a Virgin. He suffered as a criminal. He was Crucified on a borrowed Cross.
Jesus has scars on His back. He was whipped and had His precious flesh ripped off !
Pierced through His Hands and Feet. Scars on His head from the Thorns from the Crown meant to mock His Kingship.
With an open wound on His side that never closes!
He died. Jesus was then buried in a tomb that was borrowed. On the 3rd day He rose from the dead. There were many eyewitnesses to His Resurrection as proof to all that what He said was true. When He was about to ascend back to Heaven He gave us the Helper, the Holy Spirit.
One day soon, He will come back to judge the living and the dead. And that there is no end to His Mighty and powerful Kingdom!
It’s not just the fact that Jesus endured all that was brought on Him. OR that He rose in victory over death itself! It is through that open wound He bares that gives us the opportunity to be healed of ours!
This has been and always will be the Scandal of our Faith!
Always look to the Cross of Christ! Also, remember to never overlook the wounds He endured to heal yours!
