He is not merely an example to follow: He is the author and finisher of our faith, He steers our faith like a captain steers a ship. He’s the one who steps into the abyss we cannot climb out of. He doesn’t just save us from sin’s penalty – He heals the wounds it leaves behind.
We are not called to turn inward to find peace or power. The soul is a black hole, a riddle without resolution. Questions that chain us to the shadows that we can’t escape from.
Introspection may help us identify our wounds but it can never heal them. Only Christ can do that. We must bring it all to the foot of the cross.
Hebrews 12:2 calls us to look unto Jesus- not to escape the ache but to find the one who binds up the wounds of the broken-hearted (Isaiah 61:1)
He began your story with redemption in mind, and He will bring it to a glorious end- not because you can fix yourself but because He alone can.
You don’t need to rewrite your past.
You don’t need to engineer your future.
You simply need to surrender and trust the one who writes redemptive endings.
He alone is the saviour- the only one who can complete what He started.
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 1:6
Time is short.
This is the day of salvation.
If you have believed on Him and confessed Him in faith, you shall be saved. (Romans 10:9)- this is not as a distant hope, but as a present certainty, a sure promise from the God who never fails.
