All of us have been marked. As time passes
life leaves its etchings on our mind, body,
even are soul.
These markings come to define us, our place in society
how we perceive ourselves. and as hard as we try
we can never seem to find a way to cover these marks
and hide them from those who will judge us. One man proclaimed a revolutionary
message of love and forgiveness,
of hope and of freedom. This man, Jesus
the Christ did not come to celebrate those who are regarded as a perfect
rather, he came to heal those whose hearts were broken
those labeled as outcast and unlovable
He willingly endured incredible pain and public humiliation
was despised, hated and rejected so that we could know true love.
He was beaten and bloodied and killed for us
and took the markings that should have been ours upon himself
so that we could find forgiveness and a new start.
And he did all this because of his limitless love for us
because he doesn't want us defined by the marks of our past.
He came to transform our life on Earth into one of
purpose and fulfillment so we can experience a freedom
only a relationship with Christ can bring. You can begin this new
relationship today
right now. Tell him you understand you've made mistakes
and can't earn forgiveness. That you believe he died on the cross
for you and me. That he has taken our markings on himself with his death
that he is alive forever offering the hope of a new
and eternal future. That you want him to
be your friend, your Lord. If you prayed this prayer

and find others who will celebrate with you the work
he wants to do in your life.
