Today’s Thought “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay…” G. Ward

2 Corinthians 5: ²¹ He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Good Friday warrants our deepest meditations concerning all that’s been provided us. No man is with ability to approach Holy God because HE absolutely cannot stand in the presence of imperfection; particularly with mankind having been made in HIS image and given stewardship in HIS earth and upon our absolute submission to the Savior, we enter our Lords’ rest (Heb.4:1-7), holding a higher, redeemed status as children of God destined to judge angels even.

Our lives in earth cannot please Heaven apart from our Lord Jesus’ sacrifice (Isa.64:6). HE ALONE is the perfect Lamb of God, who took our sins unto Himself and whereas animal sacrifices were given historically, that effort had to be established yearly; but our Lord’s, only once – (*Heb.10:10-14). Today’s meditation should encompass - what shall I render, to this magnificent plan of redemption from the beginning, that now includes me? Truth demands we know that no sacrifice we’ll offer as sufficient and therefore warrants our proclamation of spiritual bankruptcy, needing a perfect Savior’s payment of our sin debt, ensuring all would cease troubling themselves in efforts of futility, by absolutely placing all our trust in Jesus.

Thank You Lord! Thank You for such magnificence! Thank You for blessing us with a Perfect Savior that allows our humility to establish others unto Your perfect plan for their lives also. As our Lord Jesus offered a one-time sacrifice as more than enough, may each of us (on this great day – Ps.118:24), embody the joy in a blessed assurance onto a spiritual reciprocal order, that proclaims You as Wonderful, Omnipotent and Merciful – desiring the surrendered souls of man onto Jesus, Amen.
