John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

 

For the past two days, we have been comparing our lives to a Scales of Justice. If you haven’t read the Morning Message for the last two days, you might want to go back and do so before you continue here.

 

As we willingly take the weights and burdens off our dish and place them on God’s dish, we become aware of what Freedom through faith in Christ feels like. It’s all about what Jesus did on the Cross. His Sacrificial Work there is what makes it possible for us to be set free from burdens that weigh us down.

When Jesus gave up His Spirit on the Cross that day, He said, It is finished. At that moment in time, everything changed. The Old Covenant was no longer in place, and Jesus became the New Covenant. He IS the New Covenant, and it is because of Him that we can be set free from every burden that weighs us down.

 

Whatever it is that you are struggling with, Jesus died for it. Nothing is excluded from this. Satan was totally defeated there once and for all. The Word of God tells us,  who Himself bore our sins in His own Body on the Tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)

 

If you REALLY believe this, any weight of sin (past or present) on your dish can be transferred, through the Cross, to God’s dish. All infirmity and sickness can also be passed, through the Cross, to God’s dish. All feelings of guilt and shame due to past actions can be taken through the Cross and placed on God’s dish never to weigh you down again. All worry and anxiety about ANYTHING can be moved from your dish, through the Cross of Christ to God’s dish. No weight or burden is excluded from this. Jesus gave His Life for it all! Hallelujah!

 

As we willingly transfer the weights of sin and sorrow from our dish, through the Cross, to God’s Dish, we become lighter and lighter. This is freedom in Christ, my friends! 

 

God did His part by sending His Only Begotten Son to die on the Cross for you. By doing this, God made a Way for you to do your part, which is to believe and trust in Jesus Christ and His Atoning Work on the Cross of Calvary, and give those weights and burdens to your Heavenly Father who is not burdened by anything!

 

There is no need for you to live another day weighted down by the burdens of life. If you believe in what Christ accomplished on the Cross, you can take every weight off your dish and put them ALL on God’s dish and be set free!  And Jesus said, Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

 

Freedom in Christ will…….turn the tide .……..in your life!

 

Getting lighter by the day!      Doreen
