Here is what we talked about this past Sunday morning.
Every SCAR tells a STORY.
-Not all scars matter. (My scars don’t mean much to you and vice/versa)
-Some SCARS can CHANGE your life.
-There’s someone who has some pretty radical scars and their stories can change your life!
Jesus’ Scars
CROWN OF THORNS
-Jesus was sentenced to death for “blasphemy”.
(Some thing done or said that shows disrespect for God or sacred things.)
-Crown of thorns meant as an insult.
NAILS
-Wrists and Feet
-Not to kill, but to keep in place.
-Died of suffocation.
-Usually, they would break the legs.
SPEAR
-Spear in the side = poking with a stick
-Used to see if he was dead.
He used his servant body to carry our sins to the cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. -1 Peter 2:24
-SIN disqualifies us from being in RELATIONSHIP with God. (Heaven)
-Jesus died to heal that wound!
-What’s the big deal about His death?
Anyone can die for you. That’s not what made what Jesus did a big deal.
It was that he conquered death!
-His WOUNDS HEALED ours!
-Jesus has the power to help us overcome the wounds that we suffer everyday, even our biggest wound: DEATH!
-We’ll all spend FOREVER SOMPLACE.
-Heaven/Hell
-I don’t know where you’re at in your relationship with God, but you have to own it yourself.
-BIG OPPORTUNITY- Next three weeks!
