WRETCHED MAN

Romans 7:24 (NKJV) 24  O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 

    A child was observing in awe a friend who had died lying in state, pulling her mother aside she loudly whispered, "When do they get up?" The mother wisely replied, "Honey he is really not here, he has gone to be with Jesus." This is the essence of the testimony of the christian, once we have been redeemed by the Blood of The Lamb, we no longer live, He lives in us. Galatians 2:20 

    The one who belongs to Jesus has died to self, they no longer live to serve self but others, the christian has in fact attended his own funeral and the world is asking, "When will that old dead self get up?" Friend if you belong to Jesus, you have died and the old man will never rise again!"

Heavenly Father help us to receive our place in You as forgiven, redeemed, made clean, washed and invested with New Life. May we today exhibit what you have done for the believer in Jesus. Amen
