I’m not that Bad…Think Again


The Psalmist states that our God searches us, even to the extent that He knows our every thought. You probably know this truth; but, do you know where Jesus comes into play with that truth?
Your God knows what’s hanging out in the nooks and crannies of your head. He knows the good, the bad and the ugly of what you know about and what you’ve both forgotten about or didn’t even “know” was hanging around in there.
The bad and ugly is the sin that offends and harms your relationship with God. And if it were not for what Jesus did on the cross, you couldn’t even be heard by your Father.
Jesus is the burnt offering that takes care of all your willful sins and thoughts. Jesus is also the sin offering that takes care of the sins you don’t even know you’re committing, or sins of ignorance. This offering also covers the offensive stuff in your head that you’ve even forgotten about!
Lastly, Jesus is the peace offering that heals or restores the relationship, so your Father can hear your conversations with Him 24/7.
Jesus did all of this for you, did you know these truths? If so, praise Him today.
If not, this is what is behind the truth that we’re not to think too highly of ourselves. We have stuff that is offending God that we don’t even know about. And it is because of Jesus’ death on the cross that we’re covered so we can stay connected with our Father.
I think it’s time to praise Jesus, don’t you?
