“But he was wounded for
our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we
are healed.”
Isaiah 53: 5
King James Version
Many of us are apprehensive right now since hurricane season
started last month. Some of us have had bitter experience with
hurricanes and their devastation. All of us are praying that
another hurricane won’t strike an already ravaged area. There is
a different kind of hurricane that sometimes strikes us daily.
It is a hurricane of the heart. A lot of times we have just
gotten over being attacked with criticism and sarcasm and it
strikes again.
When Jesus was here He also experienced hurricanes, but His
hurricanes were far worse than what we go through in this life.
His heart must have broken over all the cruel things that were
said and done to Him. One of the times when He asked His friends
to watch as He |
|
was praying, they fell asleep. He must have felt a
mixture of emotions when He saw them sleeping. He probably felt anger and at the
same time had compassion for them.
Jesus feels the hurricanes of loneliness, despair and turmoil in our hearts. He
longs to give us peace, His peace, a peace that the world can’t give us or take
away from us. He Loves us so much and wants us to be happy. When He died on the
cross for us, He became our peace. What a Saviour, this Jesus of Calvary!
If you don’t have peace in your heart today, allow Jesus to comfort you with His
peace, a peace that passes all understanding. He will take the hurricanes from
your heart.
