I wonder
what if JESUS BLAMED us for what HE had to go through.
But then if HE BLAMED us
would HE have gone to the CROSS.
BLAME
takes the focus off of yourself
because it puts it on someone else.
THE BLAME GAME~
it started in the garden.
It was the APPLE's fault.
It was the Serpent's fault.
But it was EVE's fault.
But it was ADAM's fault.
But it was GOD who created the
the tree
the apple
the EVE
the ADAM
the serpent.
So should we BLAME GOD?
But didn't GOD take the BLAME
and put it all on JESUS
to take our BLAME.
Hmm.
Now I know the TRUTH of this,
but don't we live as if we
BLAME GOD
for all that is wrong in this world
for all that is wrong in ourselves
for all that is wrong in others.
Because if GOD IS GOD
then GOD shouldn't allow anything that is
wrong that wrongs us or anyone else.
But did GOD say EAT THE APPLE?
So maybe just maybe GOD did BLAME HIMSELF
as HE provided a solution
so that we don't have to wear the weight of BLAME,
because HIS SON had to wear it
on a CROSS.
And this was the heaviest weight that anyone would ever have to carry
just so we don't have to.
"GOD put the world square with HIMSELF through the MESSIAH, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins... How? you ask. In CHRIST GOD put the wrong on HIM who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with GOD" (2 Corinthians 19, 21).
Who do you place the weight of BLAME upon
because you don't have ______
or you don't feel _______,
so that you remain stuck where you are
until ______ gets resolved?
Doesn't that question just pierce your heart
with the reality
that BLAME is real
because whatever or whoever you are BLAMING
has pierced your heart with such deep pain
that you just can't forget
or just won't forget.
BUT JESUS steps in and gets
PIERCED by taking all the BLAME
of all that is unjust and unfair.
So let's FAST from the weight of BLAME.
Every time you want to
BLAME
someone or something today
remember that
GOD doesn't BLAME you or me or anyone else
for our shortcomings
because if HE did
would GOD have had JESUS wear BLAME~
"But HE was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
HE was beaten so we could be whole.
HE was whipped so we could be healed.
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left GOD'S paths to follow our own.
Yet the LORD LAID on HIM
the sins of us all"
(ISAIAH 53)
Hmm.
So maybe this changes things.
For if you ask me who I BLAME for who I am today
I guess I do have someone to
BLAME~
It's
"JESUS FAULT"
