"Grace means that God is on our side and we are victors regardless of how well we have played the game."
Donald McCullough
"Through what He experienced, my Righteous One, my Servant, will make many righteous ones, as He Himself carries the burden of their sins. Therefore I'll reward Him extravagantly - the best of everything, the highest honors - because He looked death in the face and didn't flinch, because He embraced the company of the lowest. He took on His own shoulders the sin of the many, He took up the cause of all the black sheep."
Isaiah 53:11-12
We have all had failures and done wrong. But Jesus took up our cause. He bore our sins on His shoulders and carried them away, taking all the consequences for our sin, the shame, guilt and punishment that resulted from it. So even if we may see ourselves as losers, one of the lowest, or black sheep, Jesus has made us truly righteous and innocent. Failure, guilt, and punishment are gone and righteousness, grace and life are here! All because of the beautiful self-sacrificing love of the innocent Jesus. He truly deserves all the honor and praise!
A thought: Because of Jesus, even if I act like a loser, I cannot lose.
