“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
- 1 Peter 2:24 (NIV)
Humans sure go through a lot.
We have physical injuries, emotional meltdowns, and serious pain caused by many different things, the sins of others and often our own sin.
I have so many scars that I carry, both externally and internally and some of them can still become open gaping wounds given the optimal situation.
We have healing though, in Christ Jesus, no matter our sin, no matter our pain.
MercyMe is one of my favorite bands, their song "Flawless" is really spot on, just open yourself to these lyrics:
There's got to be more
Than going back and forth
From doing right to doing wrong
'Cause we were taught that's who we are
Come on get in line right behind me
You along with everybody
Thinking there's worth in what you do
Then like a hero who takes the stage when
We're on the edge of our seats, saying it's too late
Well, let me introduce you to amazing grace
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
Could it possibly be
That we simply can't believe
That this unconditional
Kind of love would be enough
To take a filthy wretch like this
And wrap him up in righteousness
But that's exactly what He did
...
Take a breath smile and say
Right here, right now, I'm ok
Because the cross was enough
And like a hero who takes the stage when
We're on the edge of our seats, saying it's too late
Well, let me introduce you to grace grace
God's grace
...
No matter what they say
Or what you think you are
The day you called His name
He made you flawless
He made you flawless (he made you flawless)
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
We don’t have to go through our lives hurting, we can turn to Christ for healing.
No matter what.
