Jesus Gave Us the Solution for Our Problems through His Sacrifice for Us ㅡ

 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

 (Isaiah 53:5)

Can you, beholding by the eye of faith the sufferings of Christ, tell your trials, your tale of woe?

Can you nurse revenge in your heart while you remember the prayer that came from the pale and quivering lips of Christ for His revilers, his murderers: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”?

There is a work before us to subdue the pride and vanity that seek a place in our hearts, and through penitence and faith to bring ourselves into familiar and holy converse with Christ....

We must deny self, and fight continually against pride.

We must hide self in Jesus, and let Him appear in our character and conversation.

While we look constantly to Him whom our sins have pierced and our sorrows have burdened, we shall acquire strength to be like Him.

Our lives, our deportment, will testify how highly we prize our Redeemer, and the salvation He has wrought out for us at such a cost to Himself.

And our peace will be as a river while we bind ourselves in willing, happy captivity to Jesus.

 (Lift Him Up 233)
