Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Truth…
31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”
32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[b]”
The truth hurt the Pharisees so much, that rather than accept truth, they wanted to kick out the Son of God. Sanctification is painful, many of us have felt it’s piercing blade before. It is a revealing beautiful process. A process that can only be done with the help of the Holy Spirit.
As Gentiles, you and I were given a beautiful gift. A gift of salvation through Jesus. But we must accept the truth. That means that Legalism must be replaced with Grace. Law must be replaced with the Love for Jesus. If you do not, then what happened at Calvary? What happened on the cross?
The truth is that Jesus she’d His blood for you and I, in forgiveness of our sins. On that day, our sins became invisible to the Father and we were cleansed. Don’t kick Him out of your city or home or place of business. He wants to be a part of every aspect of your life. Invite Him in. Even into the deepest, most difficult parts. He will cleanse them for you. Jesus already has.
Thank you Jesus.
Amen.
