An excerpt from The Daily Bread by Julie Ackerman Link..
"Think about the time when the weight of the guilt or pain of sin was so heavy that you couldn't pull yourself out of bed. Now try to imagine the heaviness of the combined grief that everyone's sin had caused your family, your church, your neighbourhood. Add to that, the suffering sin has caused everyone in your city, nation and the world. Now, try to imagine the accumulated grief that sin has caused the centuries since creation..."
Take time to truly imagine that.
That's a lot of pain. A lot of guilt. A lot of grief.
And can you believe it? Jesus did just that. He bore all that pain of sin since creation...
For you.
And for me.
Thank You Lord.
