"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed." ~ Isaiah 53:5
Yesterday, I heard two news reports that deeply disturbed me. The first was about a young musician who stabbed himself to death while performing at an artist showcase in Oregon. He died in front of a crowd full of people. The second story was of a 16-year old girl who survived a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
It’s ironic to me that these two reports came during the week that we celebrate Good Friday and Easter. Just like the young musician, Jesus died in front of a crowd of people. Like the girl in San Francisco, Jesus survived the attempt. The difference, however, is that Jesus willingly sacrificed His life so that we wouldn’t have to.
No matter how bad things get or how hopeless they are, know that you can always face tomorrow with hope, knowing that Jesus loved us enough to sacrifice Himself for us.
God bless,
J.W.
