People.....seriously. Remember...it was people who sinned against GOD. Remember it's people decided when HE didn't do what THEY wanted HIM to do, that they decided to beat, torture, then crucify Him. It's people that make your job difficult, and get on your last nerve.
But isn't it also PEOPLE who are also there when you have your baby, that help to carry that load? Isn't it people who you cry over when they no longer suffer with physical ailments and are given the peaceful rest. Isn't it people who rally around you when you are experiencing your worst, or your best season of life?
So then what is it really.......Jeremiah 17:9 says “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? The truth is folks every last one of us are in need of a clean heart. A heart that beats for the KING! A heart that desires light, over darkness. In the book Your Move by Andy Stanley he breaks down the real problem, and it's matters of the heart is what it really is. Remember it was the same people who were shouting Hosanna Hosanna that moments later were screaming crucify Him! You think you are different but the scripture doesn't say..."some humans hearts....." NO...it says THE HUMAN HEART, yours....mine...the lil cute little baby (given them time...if you are a parent you know what I'm talking about) we all have a heart that seems to be DEAD set on pursuing what makes it HAPPY, not what makes it HOLY!
Unless you come to the cross, unless your prayed the prayer of repentance and actually have lived a life of daily repentance of your thoughts, words, deeds and actions...that little heart of your is dead set on ............you name it! Who have you allowed your heart to mislead you away from? Is it a church, a friend...a relative? God desires we would live and love amongst one another. He didn't reject the cross...as you can see He embraced it....He shouldered the responsibility needed so that you could have access to the FATHER. He's the ultimate parent....you hate to see your children fight, and not talk to one another...imagine this being the case magnified...where tribes have allowed Satan to separate them to the point of Holocausts, and genocides. Is this you on a smaller scale? Are you killing the character of a pastor, a mother, a father, a neighbor, a co-worker.......I could go on an on...but you get the point. Somewhere today, or tonight there will be a service held and I pray you are there.....at the foot of the cross.....and that you remember this tonight as we reflect off of what HE DID!
