“But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 NLT
When is the last time you had some real good homemade lemonade? I’m talking that lemonade was perfect. Little to No pulp in it. It was cold and not watered down. The perfect amount of sugar to still give you that sweet taste with a lemon taste. No ice needed type of lemonade. Yeah, it’s been a minute for me too. One thing that I think about is how it looks when I receive it. Served in a beautiful pitcher and a glass mason jar(I’m country for real). But what I don’t see is the bag of sugar or measuring cups or the mess from the lemons. I don’t even see the lemon peels.
HERE IT IS…
But when I think about what the lemons had to go through to give me this great refreshing drink. The cutting, the pressing, the mashing, the squeezing. Drowned in water and sugar. Then tossed away in the trash. But what came from those lemons and water and sugar was something that gave me a refreshing drink. However, if I want more I have to do it all over again. I thank God that it only took him one time to die for me to save my sin filled self. So that I can have a right to a perfect refreshing and peaceful life with him. He did it for you and for me.
