Job 26; Job 27; Mark 15; Mark 16
Then
The Soldiers
Nailed Him To The Cross …
Scripture
24 Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross …
Observation
As I read about the crucifixion of Christ this morning I
was reminded that it was my sin that nailed Jesus to the cross. It was your sin
too!
But God showed
his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still
sinners. Romans 5:8
A few weeks ago
during our prayer time at one of our morning worship services a young man asked
me to pray that he would not yield to temptation that he was struggling with
and fall back into some of his old sins. I told him that when he was being
tempted for him to visualize Christ on the cross and for him to say to himself,
“Jesus died on the cross for that sin.”
When I do this at the moment that I am being tempted it
helps me to turn away from the temptation.
Application
When I am tempted this week I will remind myself that
Jesus died for that sin.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, How can a young person stay pure? By
obeying your word and following its rules.
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:9,11 Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. Psalm
119:105
