Is it easier to say to the paralyzed man 'Your sins are forgiven,' or 'Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk'? So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins." Jesus then tells the paralyzed man to pick up his mat and go home. The man does as the Lord has told him to do. Healing is connected to forgiveness. Sin brings death but Salvation brings wholeness. Ask yourself this same question. Many who have accepted Jesus as the Messiah and believe that they are forgiven and going to Heaven remain captive to infirmity. Either we are forgiven and set free or we are not. Surely our LORD is tenderly reminding us that He did not endure the cross for us to be forgiven but not to be made whole. TAP IN to that.

Some Christians believe that they have to work at becoming more righteous. And they kick themselves when they do wrong. They don’t realize that by doing these things, they are not seeking God’s righteousness, but are trying to establish their own righteousness by their law-keeping and right conduct. Righteousness is not about right conduct. It is a gift from God to us through Jesus. And since it is a gift, we cannot earn it by our law-keeping and right conduct. We can only receive it! How do we receive this gift? We receive it through the cross. God made Jesus “who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”. So today, we are the righteousness of God in Christ. We are as righteous as Jesus is! But some of us think that in the body of Christ, there are different classes of righteousness, like the seating classes in an airplane. They think that some of us have economy-class righteousness, others have business-class righteousness and a select few have first-class righteousness. That is nonsense! When God gave us Jesus, He became our righteousness. So we have His righteousness. This means that we are 100 per cent righteous in God’s eyes! We cannot but have first-class righteousness! You might say, “Pastor Prince, I don’t understand. How can I be righteous when I have done wrong?” Think about this: Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us. Jesus knew no sin, did no sin and in Him was no sin. But at the cross, He received our sin and became sin for us. Likewise, we, who were sinners, knew no righteousness, did no righteousness and in us was no righteousness. But at the cross, we received His righteousness and became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. At the cross, the divine exchange took place. Jesus took our place so that we might take His place. He did not deserve to be made sin, but He was made sin in our place. We did not deserve to be made righteous, but we were made righteous because we received His righteousness. What good news! What amazing grace! Thought For The Day We have first-class righteousness which we received as a gift through Jesus. Pastor Joseph Princehttp://www.josephprince.org/daily-grace/grace-inspirations/single/you-have-first-class-righteousness/ Super Esquire: And some fell by the wayside and didnt take root. Some among thorns and the cares of the world strangled there testimonies. Some seeds fell on good ground and took root and bore forth fruit (like fruits of repentance) 20 fold, 50 fold or 100 fold. I dont know about you but I want to bear forth fruit 100 fold! Super Esquire: That is why we are taught in the new testament that we will be judged according to our works (conduct). We are saved from the world, the flesh and the devil, if we stay with christ, but being saved doesnt mean being exalted into the upper echeloens of heaven unless we are valiant in our testimony of Jesus Christ. kellytaylor107 added new images to her gallery Elizabeth Newborn Portraits 11 New Pictures added to Elizabeth Newborn Portraits |
