STOP IT

"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"

Luke 6:37
King James Version

Instead of judging people, we should be encouraging people. None of us are perfect. It doesn't matter if we preach, teach or sing in a choir, there was only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His name is Jesus.

Just because I write daily devotions does not mean that I never hurt Jesus or fail Him. Every one of us needs to follow the example of our Saviour when someone hurts us. We need to stop hurting Jesus because we don't forgive those who hurt us.

When Jesus was beaten beyond recognition, spat on, cursed, mocked and shed His blood on the cross for your sins and for my sins, He forgave us whle still hanging on the cross with the blood flowing down His precious body.

We read in the Bible. "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots." Luke 23:33, 34

If ever someone deserves to be praised, it is Jesus. He is the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS"! Worthy is the Lamb of God! I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for paying the price for my sins when You shed Your blood for me on the cross. One happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. Thank You again.
