Reflection

Yesterday I closed the blog post with a reminder concerning the need to spend some time in reflection and contemplation this week.  We need to keep those words at the fore-front of our thought process as we move toward Good Friday.  Good Friday serves as a reminder of the willingness of our Savior to place His life on the cross as a living sacrifice for the sins of humanity.  Is it possible that this story from the Bible can lose its impact on us because of familiarity?  We can rehearse the story of Christ in our minds but does it penetrate our hearts?  Is it possible that we have learned the scripture passages and the songs that accompany these passages yet we have forgotten the true impact of the truth that is contained in those passages?  We must remember that it is the "truth that sets us free."  The application of Truth serves as the basis of our freedom from the chains of sin and disobedience.  Those chains were the driving force behind our decisions regarding the way we lived our lives.   Today we can rejoice over the fact that God has made a way for us to walk in freedom that comes through a personal relationship with Him.  I encourage you to take some time this week and seriously consider all that Christ endured for the sake of our salvation.
