WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?
by Kevin
Rutherford
Read the Gospel accounts of the
brutal torture and execution of Jesus Christ and you will see that Jesus was
slapped, beaten, mocked, spat upon, scourged, beaten again, and nailed to a
wooden cross. Jesus was bruised, broken,
battered, bloodied, and betrayed. The
flesh was torn from His back and His body was pierced by nails. His death was gruesome, agonizing, and
excruciating. His manner of sacrifice is
a good example of the depths to which men can stoop in their brutal torture of
others. Why did God allow His Son to
endure this? He did so because He loves
us (John
Knowing what Christ has done for me I must ask myself, “what’s wrong with me?” What is wrong with me if...
1. I don’t care to pray frequently
to God (1 Thessalonians
2. I don’t care to study my Bible
daily (Acts
3. I don’t care to assemble with
the saints (Hebrews
4. 1 won’t dedicate my life to serving God (Romans 12:1, 2).
What’s wrong with me? I simply do not appreciate the sacrifice that was made for me. I simply do not love God enough for what He has done. Is there something wrong with you?
