Hebrews 11:1

[Chad Bird @birdchadlouis]

A Savior from True and False Guilt

There are cracks in our souls, flaws in the core of our being that are deeper and broader than the Grand Canyon. They are full of true and false guilt, addictions and angers, regrets and shame, horrors over what we’ve done, what’s been done to us, and heartbreaking events that were beyond our control.

We are right to say that Jesus paid the price for our sins, that he takes our guilt away. But we need more than a Savior from our own sin. We also need more than a Savior from other people’s sins against us. We need a Savior who heals us finally from evils over which no one had any control. Evils that are part of a fallen world where alligators kill people, pickups run over children, floods drown, hurricanes crush, cancers kill.

We need a God who can heal us of true guilt and false guilt. We need a Christ who not only removes the shame we feel for what we’ve done, but who washes away the shame that others have smeared upon us. We need a Lord who promises not just to fix the parts of us that are broken, but who totally remakes us into new creatures.

And that’s the Savior we have. “Look, I am making all things new,” he says (Rev 21:5). Did you hear that? All. Things. New. Not most things. Not just the things you feel true guilt over. Not just the shame over what you’ve done wrong. "I am making all things new."

He makes all of me new, all of you new. The cracks in our souls, those deep and broad flaws in the core of our being, he fills with himself. The Grand Canyon within us, full of guilt and fears and shames and regrets and horrors unspeakable, he fills with his forgiveness and healing and love and compassion. When fissures begin to show again—and they will—he fills them once more. And he will keep on filling us with himself until the day of the resurrection, when, finally all guilt, true and false, will cease.

@birdchadlouis All. Things. New. All. Things. All.

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. - Ephesians 2:10 NLT #verseoftheday

"Nobody wants to be at the end of the line. Given the choice, we want to go first, to get the full portion...But Christ-followers understand that life is about more than doing what we want. It’s about doing what we wish."

So good! Amen and amen.

Lord, you surround us with mothers of all kinds - those who birthed us, those who chose us, those we gained through marriage or our faith family. For the mothers who have carried us - whether in their arms, their hearts, their wisdom or their prayers - we thank Thee, O God!

Genesis draws on different types of material to convey a unified message that points forward to Jesus Christ. Read this article to learn more about the first book of the Bible. https://t.co/r8Qvvzo4a5

A highly underrated leadership trait: sense of humor.

I don’t mean the cheap substitutes: cynicism or sarcasm.

I just mean that the best leaders I know laugh. A lot.

They’re serious people but they also know when to not be serious.

Let’s all laugh some more in ‘23.
