Every Thursday at the Finest |
Good morning, Thursday Finest! Knowing how you miss John when he's not here, I reached back three years ago, to April 3, 2003, for today's Two Cents. I thought it was worth repeating and hope you do, too. |

Oh my goodness! It's Aeronaut!! Hello, so good to see you. :)

Wounded For Me
Read:
|
A man who was deeply troubled by his sins was having a vivid dream in which he saw Jesus being savagely whipped by a soldier. As the cruel scourge came down upon Christ's back, the onlooker shuddered, for the terrible cords left ugly, gaping wounds upon His bleeding, swollen body. When the one wielding the lash raised his arm to strike the Lord again, the man rushed forward to stop him. As he did, the soldier turned, and the dreamer was startled to see his own face!
He awoke in a cold sweat, conscious that his sin had inflicted this grievous punishment upon the Savior. As he thought of Christ's suffering, he remembered these words in Isaiah 53:5, "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."
How wonderful that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died to redeem a sinful and lost world! He was wounded for our transgressions. "All we like sheep have gone astray," but praise God, "the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6).
In one sense, Good Friday was the darkest day in human history. But because of Jesus' sacrifice for us, the cross was actually the greatest victory of all the ages! Henry Bosch
Christ was delivered for our sins that we might be delivered from our sins.
Thanks. Problem is I am home "under the weather" so to speak.
Howdy stranger...
Good morning your honor.
How 'bout that - I got here before you had to post on *yesterday's* thread. :)
Good to see you, I hope your feeling better soon tho...
I know! I was suprised when I saw it up.
Nice job!
Oh, phooey! :( Sorry to hear that.
:) You may be a little later in leaving, though.
Nice job!
Thanks - will be glad when John's back on a *regular* basis again, but this was a good one to repost. :)
Nice job and good pick.. Anything to do with the Military is always a good pick.
Thanks, Dolly. I did do the original thread. In the beginning I was doing most of them. I had to replace one missing graphic for today's thread (but just used the "Coming Home" graphic I'd done for one of Bob's poems at Amy's Place), changed one gif at the end - plus changed the outside tables for this one. :)
That is true. We know that John does satire better than almost anybody every could, but when he's in this more serious mode, he's every bit as good.
Good Morning stranger! :o)
