Failures ( Isaiah 53 )

Let me ask you a question,do you know anyone who has never failed?, the fact is we all fail at something or other. Some failures are awful,some not so ,other failures are inconsequential, and yet even those inconsequential failures sometime can have devastating effects.People can be rejected because of their failures, and sadly some people cannot live with failure,and even end their lives. Dennis  Wailley said,' 'Failure should be our teacher.not our undertaker'. I wonder what you think of the following, 'For  all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' Romans 3 v 23. Let me clarify ,sin relates to our offences against God's moral law,yes we live in a moral universe, Sin is not a word people use much,if at all,but that does not nullify it, it still remains valid, because God is valid, He may not be in our thoughts,and we may take no account of Him, and live as we please, ignoring our moral sinful short comings. But God does not ignore them ,He cannot, His holiness and justice demands that they will receive ,their due,judgement. Hebrews 9 v 27.Failure at that level brings with it awful consequences, yes for everyone,unless our sins are  forgiven, there is no hope. So God who is merciful has provided  us a Saviour called Jesus,

                                                    Wounded for me,wounded for me,

                                                    There on the cross He was wounded for me;

                                                    Gone my transgressions, and now I am free,

                                                    All because Jesus was wounded for me.
