No Greater Tree.....

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24

I've been talking about trees all week....thought I better not leave this week without mentioning the greatest use of "tree" in the scriptures; that is, the one that was instrumental in the death of our sins and where a life of righteouness is birthed- the tree upon which our savior died. Unless you have had an encounter with the one on this tree, all human endeavor is for naught. There is no peace, there is no hope, and there is no reconciliation without Christ. Oh, there may be temporal peace, intermittent glimpes of hope and even flashes of reconciliation, but no real peace, no lasting hope and in the end, no reconciliation with the creator of our souls. Listen deeply- "by his wounds you have been healed".....capture that reality! Open your heart and soul to the only one who is able to provide everlasting life. Get to know the one on this tree..... Just in case you're wondering-- He already knows and loves you.
