Today’s Thought “PLASTIC Surgery” G. Ward

 

Hebrews 12

² Looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

We can often get entirely too busy with elevating bad examples in people that give us appearances of being good and according to this Word provided on today, it mandates we know how Jesus alone is the Only worthy view for mankind; even to the degree of asking, “How well am I doing now against all He portrayed in the earth?” His life embodied servitude; even dying for the vilest of sinners, offering forgiveness, then restoration. When God’s Word insists we fall short of His glory, it means that every human being—regardless of background, race, or moral effort—has sinned and missed the mark of God's perfect standard. Moreover, God won’t involve Himself into some kind of categorizing that determines the murderer as worse than the liar, while at the same time, He chooses to have mercy on whomever. We too must never seek to see the best external view in any, without offering them the substantive Lord of All as Perfect Redeemer – because outside of Him, no one is righteous, not one.

And Father God, there needs to be a rehearsal of these facts daily; particularly as we go and encounter others – looking to how our Savior’s interactivity in earth never compromised the eternal hope meant for man; marveling even, in how He’d use a religious murderer named Paul and a over zealous one named John and a two-faced disciple named Peter, to now thank You for desiring to use wretches like us. We praise You for every possibility through Jesus, Amen
