His Scars

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today's devotion is titled "His Scars." Arthur Jackson wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is John 20:24–29 with the key verse, "He was pierced for our transgressions, . . . and by his wounds, we are healed.", Isaiah 53:5. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Thomas and I had things in common. He did not believe that Christ rose from the dead. I did not think I could be forgiven. What made me believe that Christ's scars were not for me was the lifestyle I lived. I wanted to come to Jesus, but I felt my sins were too grievous. Thanks to Christian friends and strangers, I prayed to Jesus, confessed, and repented of my sins, and believe that His scars are for my sins.

I look forward to the day I can personally thank those who brought me to God.

Reflect:

What circumstances led you to believe that Jesus's scars were for you? If you have not believed in Him for your sins' forgiveness, what keeps you from trusting Him today?

Prayer:

Father, I believe that Christ's scars were for my sin. I am grateful!

My Prayer for You:

May you know that Christ's scars are for your sins.
