Verse of the Day

From Isaiah 53:5-6, The Message:

"But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him--our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And GOD has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
on him, on him."

I don't know about you, but I am feeling very humbled and very grateful!

One of my favorite passages...

"By His wounds, we are healed."

There's just not a deeper form of love.
