The Only Man Who Is Without Fault

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.  And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe, and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they smote Him with their hands.  Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, “Behold, I bring Him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.”  Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, “Behold the Man!”  When the chief priests therefore and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Take ye him, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.”
John 19:1-6

Jesus is the Son of Man,  the Son of God, God the Son, the Messiah and King of Israel, and He is the Creator, Lord and Savior of all who will call  on His name.

He is the only Man to have no sin, no fault was found in Him.  Yet, He became sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Words From the Heart

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

“Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.” Jesus Christ (Matthew 15:17-20 KJV)

The things we easily speak is what is in our hearts. When it flows with confidence and ease – whether it be good, bad, nasty, vulgar – if it comes with ease that is what is in our hearts.

May my heart be filled with the Spirit of Christ, that I may freely and with ease speak of Him, His glory, His passion – the cross – and His coming again.
