There’s An Advocate
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:1-2)
Today’s Morsel: Do you ever feel as though you are running out of help for your sin? Have you ever heard or seen someone just throw up their hands and say, “There just isn’t any help?” Why do you think so many seem to get to a point of helplessness and hopelessness? Do you feel as though you are drowning in sin? Do you feel like it’s coming in over your head? The apostle John lets us know that we have someone to help us. That someone is Jesus Christ. John says that He is the atonement for the sins of the whole world. You don’t have to carry the sins you’ve committed around allowing, them to burden you and hinder you. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgives us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As He states in the book of Isaiah, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10).
Sing: I came to Jesus weary worn and sad, He took my sins away, He took my sins away. And now on Him, I roll my every care, He took my sins away.
He took my sins away, He took my sins away, and He keeps me singing every day. I’m so glad He took my sins away; He took my sins away.
Thought For Today: Sin shall not have dominion over you.
