God’s Word says, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness” — 1 Peter 2:24
When a man cultivates a personal friendship with the Chief, there’s no life too much of a mess for Him to straighten out — and keep straightened out.
Peter Marshall
The sinless Christ does not turn away from us, no matter how sinful we are. He says: “Come unto me. He that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.” Without sin himself he can pity us in our sin, and is willing to wash away the stains. He is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.
Charles Edward Jefferson
Emergency!
God’s Word says, “He appeared so that He might take away our sins. And in Him is no sin” — 1 John 3:5
I remember when
I nearly bled to death —
a ruptured spleen
pouring blood into my body.
Ninety miles an hour we went,
so surgeons could save my life.
You know how urgent that was.
I remember when
I broke my hand
bitterly striking my brother —
his jaw proved tougher than me.
Ashamed but quickly I went,
so doctors could set my hand.
You know we must be put right.
Why then, please tell me why,
do we delay to see the Doctor
whose cross can cure
the fatal poison of our sin?
Especially when we turn to Him,
we find Him knocking at our door?
And yet, you know how we delay.

In Him Is No Sin

Seemed So Great
We’ve been looking at Romans 3:23, and seeing that all have sinned. Sometimes, in our daily discussions about Jesus, my wife and I imagine these biblical truths from Molly’s point of view. Molly is our trusty old golden retriever. This is her devotional poem. It’s called “Seemed So Great.”
Oh
at first
sinning
seemed
so great.
But then
I wound up
in my crate.
