Bible Ballistics: BBs #47 Running??
We all go through times of pain and suffering, heartache and grief and I know so many are wrestling with so much I just wanted to visit this issue again today. Are you hurting today? Is pain a part of your life? Can Jesus meet your needs? I heartily and confidently say YES!!! He can, He does!!! Because Jesus cares, when no one else does—Jesus does.
Hebrews 4:14-16, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
We have a Savior who knows and understands. Who walked this earth like us, who got tired, had to face frustrations, had pain and sorrow, “Jesus wept”. Read the Gospel of John sometime to see the heart of the “Great Shepherd”, who cares for the sheep. Who cares so much that He gave His own sinless, perfect life to save my sinful, imperfect life and transform it into His image (see Rom 8:28-29). How do I know? ‘….the Bible tells me so…’.
Look at what our verses tell us:
My Savior is the SON OF GOD!!!
My Savior is my HIGH PRIEST;
but not a feeling less one, so high above that he is untouched with my pain.
My Savior, God and High Priest took on flesh to actually
feel my pain
and die so I could live
(though in a broken world for now),
and know the Savior
who had been touched with my feelings and
could help me bear and overcome them.
He bought victory at Calvary. (See Hebrews 2:14-15).
So?? Here’s our shot for the day.
Run “boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
He’s there to hold you,
to comfort and
encourage you.
Yes, even to cry with you.
Run, don’t wait.
Run to your loving Savior NOW—
He’s never off duty
or too busy for YOU!!!!
