1 Peter 2:24 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Healed by His Wounds

Brokenness. We see it all around us. We experience it ourselves: in our relationships, in our dreams, in our bodies. And yet, something happened over two thousand years ago that still has the power to heal that brokenness.  
 
1 Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." 

Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, took the weight of our sins upon Himself. He carried them to the cross, giving up His life not because of His own wrongdoing, but because of ours. This is the essence of the Gospel. Through His sacrifice, He offered us a path out of darkness and into His light—a life transformed by His grace. 

Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we’ve been given a profound healing of our spirits; new life taking the place of sins and darkness that separate us from God. Through His wounds, we are offered forgiveness and a new relationship with God, healed and whole.  

Understanding His sacrifice transforms us. We can’t live in darkness anymore. Brokenness may surround us, but it is no longer within us. His righteousness washes over us. His healing wells up within us. Our entire life shifts as a response to the profound love and sacrifice Jesus showed us, and the healing that He alone can provide.

Psalm 51:10 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Want a Clean Heart?

King David made some great decisions, but he also made some terrible ones...

During his reign, David chose to abuse his power by taking the wife of one of his military leaders, and then arranging for him to die in battle. For someone who was considered “a man after God’s own heart,” David really messed up.
 
In 2 Samuel 12:13 we see David confess his sin against the Lord and in Psalm 51, we see his prayer to be made new:
 
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬
 
David failed. But God redeems. God restores. David still had to face the consequences of his decisions, but in that journey, God met him there.
 
If you want to be made new by God but believe that your past is too messed up, you can follow the path David showed us. Confess, repent, and ask God to make you new. You can even use David’s exact words as you pray: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within ...
