Heart condition

Today’s Reading: John 7:67-69 (NIV)

67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

Good day!

I have a heart condition. You have it too. For generations now, this insidious disease has run rampant among human hearts around the world. It is no respecter of age, race, gender, or social class. It steals our very lives away, cutting our time here on earth short and leaving us wondering about the world to come. Advances in modern medicine have not found a cure for this dreaded disease. There is only One anecdote, and it is not packaged in pill form. In fact, you cannot purchase it anywhere. The cure was paid in full when Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for every broken heart on Calvary’s tree. Are you looking for the cure that will heal your heart completely?

The disciples had given up their lives to follow the teacher from Nazareth. The crowds grew initially, but as Jesus taught about living bread, weak flesh, and life in the Spirit, many began to turn away. They wanted to believe Him, but they just didn’t like what they were hearing. Some were offended. Others couldn’t begin to understand or accept it. Suddenly, and without warning, the crowd split into two distinct groups of people: those who yearned to learn more and those who rejected Christ’s message. Many left the healer day, in total disbelief. Others stayed on, longing to experience healing, and the words of the healer. When Christ looked up and saw the crowds fading away, He asked the twelve, “You do not want to leave too, do you?”

If you are struggling with a heart condition today, this is the perfect time to give your heart to the great healer. Jesus stands at the door of your life and knocks. Will you choose to answer the door? He can make you whole again, if you will simply let Him into your life. On this special day, when we celebrate the gift of love, Christ invites you to experience amazing love that heals human heart conditions forever.

Grace and peace,
