Today's Word of Blessing

YOUR NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.    (Isaiah 53:4)

  Dearly beloved, when Lord Jesus Christ comes into your life, you will become a new creation.

The Bible states, “The whole world is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). There is disorder and confusion everywhere. Amidst that, our Lord assures everyone of us: “See, I am doing a new thing! (Isaiah 43:19).

If there is one who can help us it is Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed Son of the God of gods! For the Bible says that He Himself bore all our sins and sufferings on the cross.

He asks so boldly: “Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?” (John 8:46). Yes, the Bible says: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jealous folk heaped false charges on Him and crucified Him. Very often, we wonder why this fate befell the blessed Son of the God of gods. It was for you and me that He passed through all those travails.

Today, as we pass through sorrows and sufferings, pains and perils, the Lord our beloved Father tells us: “My child! For your sake, I have borne all your sufferings on the cross. Grieve not! It is for you that I passed that way and patiently bore all the travails. So, you need not be anxious about any suffering that may befall you. I who bore your sufferings will lead you through them. I will wipe away your tears and comfort you in all your sorrows.” How great a blessing is this!

The Bible says, “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted” (Isaiah 53:4). Place your faith in Lord Jesus Christ and invite Him into your heart. When He comes and lives in you, He will make everything new in your life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the blessed Lord. You passed through the travails on the cross to give me a new life. I believe that You gave your life for me. Help me to forget the past and look to the future with hope for You have promised me a bright future. Let all my former sufferings pass away. Make everything new in my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
