What a chapter! A miniture bible.The essence of the gospel.When we are brought near the passion of our Lord,we should truly feel and earnestly pay attention.When we realize just what Jesus went through so we could have a chance at eternal life.His bruises for us,by His stripes came our healing.We each had a part in this,we wounded him,and we still wound Him every time we trample under foot the blood shed for our salvation.
The Balsam tree sheds its balm to heal the wound of those who cut it,and did not Jesus do the same for us?They mocked Him, he prayed for them; they shed His blood he makes it medicine for their healing;They pierce His heart,and he opens it as a fountain for their sins and uncleanness.Our heavenly Balsam is a cure for all diseases.If you complain that no sins are like yours,remember that there is no salvation like Christ's.If you have commited all the sins,remember the blood of Jesus cleanseth from all sin.No man ever perished for being a great sinner,unless he was also an unbelieving sinner.No patient remained sick who accepted the balm of his healing blood.Christ whose death was so bitter to himself, was made sweetness to us.Rejection was His ,but acceptance is ours.The wounding was his, but the healing is ours;the blood was his but the balm is our;the thorns were his, but the crown is ours; the price was his,but the purchase is ours;the death was his ,but the life is ours.Do you believe in the Lord Jesus?Do you believe the Lord Jesus?
Now let us draw closer to the savior of the world,and not be satisfied with thinking,or believing,or being almost certain that he is your redeemer;but let us know Jesus Christ as our savior.There is more power in Christ blood to save, than there is power in your sin to destroy......
Look at what Jesus was will to do for us,Now what are you willing to do for Him?
