"What our fighting men and women are really all about"

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.

Except for a couple of references to the war at that time, it could have been written this week.

Wounded For Me

Read:
Isaiah 53

He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. —Isaiah 53:5

Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 4-6; Luke 9:1-17

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

Wounded for me, wounded for me,
There on the cross He was wounded for me;
Gone my transgressions, and now I am free,
All because Jesus was wounded for me. —Ovens

Christ was delivered for our sins that we might be delivered from our sins.

[Aeronaut]

Hello, so good to see you.

Thanks. Problem is I am home "under the weather" so to speak.

[The Mayor]

Howdy stranger...

[Aeronaut]

Good morning your honor.

[Billie]

How 'bout that - I got here before you had to post on *yesterday's* thread. :)

[The Mayor]

Good to see you, I hope your feeling better soon tho...

[The Mayor]

I know! I was suprised when I saw it up.
Nice job!

[Billie]

Oh, phooey! :( Sorry to hear that.

[Billie]

I know! I was suprised when I saw it up.

:) 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. :)

[DollyCali]

Wonderful Billie.. did you do the original thread? Layouts, backgrounds & graphics are terrific!!!!!It is timely in spirit, you are right - thank you ... double duty for you this week.

good to see you aeronaut.. and thank you Rus for the cuppa this morning..

I am off for most of day. Will be in & out but just briefly.

Thank you Billie for a gorgeous thread with a wonderful message

[The Mayor]

Nice job and good pick.. Anything to do with the Military is always a good pick.

[Billie]

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. :)

[Billie]

Nice job and good pick.. Anything to do with the Military is always a good pick.

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.

[Pippin]

Good Morning stranger! :o)

Hi, Billie!
