CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Yesterday I received this text from my daughter concerning my grandson. “B. just told me the world is filled with bad people and someone blew up three people and one person died. I am sure he heard if from one of us talking. If you hear him saying this try to reiterate that people are good. Also, try to not talk about that stuff in front of him. He is too little to know about people killing people outside of his pretend superhero’s. It seemed like it worried him and I don’t want him to be scared of life.”
It seemed like it worried him and I don’t want him to be scared of life.
We are talking about a 4 year old boy but when I thought about it more, how many of us go through stages like my grandson where we can be (scared of life). As adults, we all know the world if filled with difficult times and evil as well as good but how often do we let the evil put us into a mental state that makes us scared of life.
John 19:28 records Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am thirsty. A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, it is finished. With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
It is finished. Those 3 words should give us great comfort when we fall into the trap of being scared of life. We cant control the evil and hard times that we will face during our life. Whether its a death in the family, a sickness or the spin of Fox or MSNBC concerning the world news, an active shooter situation in a Nashville school or a shooting in Midtown, we cant hide from the hard times and evil of this world. With this said, we have the blessing that when Jesus made the statement “it is finished”, he completed the last step that was needed for us know that as believers, we are assured an eternity in the presence of The Father. This was due to a perfect sacrifice we did not deserve. Don’t let this world make you scared of life. Always remember, the requirements for our salvation was finished by Jesus on the cross. We don’t have to be scared of anything!
