Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
Passover starts today and it was at the start of the Passover when Jesus Christ was crucified.
Jesus certainly was not crucified on a Friday. Jesus was three days and nights in the grave.
A pastor was speaking with a woman who stormed out of the church and would not return because someone had offended her. A long list of faults and accusations poured out.
He listened, and then asked, “Did they spit on you?” No. “They spat on Jesus.”
"Did they ridicule and scourge and mock you?" No. “They did all that to Jesus.”
"Did they tell lies about you and plan and plot and conspire to get you out of the Church? No.
“They did all that to Jesus, and He forgave them."
"There is not one single thing you have told me that is worth holding onto and remembering. There is not one single grudge or grievance that is worth harbouring in your heart."
This is a word we need to hear repeatedly. "Forgive".
A lack of forgiveness binds us emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and may even cause us to become physically sick, certainly robbing us of that poise and power and peace.
When we release a spirit of forgiveness, healing, wholeness, love, peace and contentment can flood our beings.
Jesus did not want to be limited or restricted in any way whatsoever, so He releases a liberating spirit of forgiveness.
To heal men's sick bodies, a touch was all that was needed, but much much more was required to save and rescue people from hell.
The marks of sin could be soothed and smoothed away by the hands of Jesus, but to remove sin, required the blood of the Son of God, which was shed on the tree at that special Passover.
