I was pretty pumped when at the end of Transgression the screen went blank and there was a Bible verse.
Isaiah 53:5. It says this:
But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed.
Transgression means a violation of the law, or to step across.
Now before I continue, let me convey my desire for God to work through this blog. Chances are I’ll mess it up, but I pray that I don’t. You know me. 
So I come across that verse at the end of Transgression the video. “Very cool.” I thought. Then this morning Neil McClenddon was preaching at our church. Neil is cool to me cause he’s barbaric in the way and what he delivers. He’s very much in love with Jesus, but has a real cool way of just being genuine.
He was talking about Acts 8:26-33 this morning. Phillip is told to go somewhere. When Phillip obeyed, God put this Ethiopian Eunuch reading from Isaiah. The Eunuch was readhing from chapter 5 verse 7 and 8. Those Verses say:
He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before it’s shearer is silent, so He does not open His mouth. In humiliation His judgement was taken away; Who shall relate His generation? For His life is removed from the earth.
Laurie (from www.dallaswakeboarding.com) and I were talking this morning about the law. She is in that line of work and is frequently in the court room. I’ve always wonderd about the similarities or differences in how judgment is executed in our day, and in the days of past. With some study maybe she’ll be able to shed some light on those things for me since she knows the field so well.
One of the things that came up was how impossible it is to keep every law. There are just too many. Not only that, but how would somebody keep up with the changing laws or new laws that are put in to effect evryday? It’s crazy. Furthermore, what about religious laws? I mean I have some basics that I have in my head like the Ten Commandments, but I can’t remember them day after day. How am I supposed to adhere to all that?
I can’t.
So what does that mean?
At some point I’ll have to answer for me not obeying the law. I mean I’d like to think that I could just get by…well actually, I think I’m a different person now. I’d probably at least want a chance to explain myself. Even all the explaination in the world couldn’t get me out of that ticket.
So what happens? Am I condemned for my transgression? What are the consequences? What happens when I break rules that I don’t even know exists?
…our well being fell upon Him. By His scourging I am healed.
Accept Jesus as the healer of your soul today. Let your well being fall on Him. He’s able, willing, and in love with you.
