1 Peter 2:24 NASB "and He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by His wounds you were healed."He paid for it but I heard about it all the way home! Today's Word speaks about sin, and who paid the price for our sin and because of that act of love, we are healed! As young boy, I got caught up in a group of boys that went the local penny candy store to see how much candy we could steal when the owner looked away. He was not a foolish man and knew exactly what we were doing and when the time came, he spoke to my father about my stealing! The owner wanted to ban me from ever entering the store again but my father paid the price of the candy I stole and I was once again allowed in the store. My dad payed the price for my faults, not unlike Jesus who pays for our sin by going to the Cross. The key is whether I stopped stealing candy and learned the lesson, or shall I say, have we stopped the sin that put Christ on the Cross? The question is are we healed?! peace, tom
