Even if Jesus
was “not guilty” He was flogged—beaten with a brutal whip. My heart cries for
Him—the brutality of the day focused on this innocent man…because of my sin…of
all the sin of the world. Yet without His suffering we would never be able to
stand before Him one day…before our Heavenly Father, too. Jesus’ blood washes
us spiritually clean—white as snow. … For
we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written, "As
I live, says The Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise
to God." Romans 14:10-11.
Slapped in
the face. As if beating Him wasn’t enough. Then Pilate said that he didn’t find
Jesus guilty—but we know the end of the story…The King of the Jews was
crucified and died for our sin. But that is not the end of the story. Stay
tuned to the final outcome.
RSVP: Jesus endured
beatings, humiliation, false accusations…and gave His life. How will you
respond to His love for you today?
Prayer ~ Jesus, precious Savior, my heart cries out
to You—in humble gratitude for all that You endured—all You did taking my sin
to the cross. Bless You my Savior. I praise You forever.
Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table
Its 98
degrees today. HOT! Time for some cool watermelon. It is such a thirst
quencher. A one inch slice of watermelon has less than 100 calories—so eat up.
If you want to drink your watermelon instead eating it, try a watermelon
smoothie.
Watermelon
Smoothie
6 cups
chopped seedless watermelon
1 cup lemon
sorbet
½ cup ice
Place half of
the watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Add half of the sorbet and
ice. Blend. Then repeat with the other portion of watermelon, sorbet and ice.
Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a fresh mint leave if desired. Makes 6 servings. This is still less than 100 calories. Enjoy.
