He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we would be dead to sin and live for righteousness. (1 Peter 2:24)
30 years ago, my mother suffered a pretty severe heart attack. At the time she owned a newsagents and as she was on her own I took the early shift each day (4 to 7am) and tried to help by gathering and sorting all the newspapers each day.
This was at the time when a young boy of only 2 (James Patrick Bulger) from Kirkby, Merseyside, England, was abducted, tortured and killed by two 10-year-old boys.
It wasn’t ISIS or white supremacists, but it certainly rocked everyone’s world! I remember that with all the Media furore It became so easy to hate these boys for what they’d done! Then at Christmas I had my first ever migraine. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t function! I ended up almost catatonic for 3 days, just lying down and sobbing, letting my tears fill my ears.
Then on the 3rd day I head the Lord say: “Why have you let this anger and evil come into your life, just look at what it has done to you?” I apologised and as sudden as the migraine came, all the pain lifted and I understood – I am not here to judge others, and the judging of evil is GOD’s job. I am here to reveal His Grace and show that His people can die to sin by following Jesus – His Path of Righteousness. X
