Bring Your Wounds to Jesus - Love Worth Finding - April 27
April 27, 2025 – Bring Your Wounds to Jesus
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Sermon: 2030 Why Jesus Still Bears the Scars, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Ponder This
A scar is a wound that has healed. The great testimony of our faith is not that we have faith to be healed, but that we have faith not to be healed and still serve God. We still have scars. We aren’t made perfect. But we love the Lord, and still serve Him. Joyce and I have a little baby in Heaven. His name is Philip. The very first verse that I read after Philip died was 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. We were wounded, and we still bear the scars.
But I’ve seen my precious wife, Joyce, use those scars so many times to say to another who’s lost a baby, “I know. I understand.” There’s something comforting about a person who bears the scars and has a testimony nobody else has. Bring your wounds to Jesus. Use your scars to point others to Him.
- What are some of the scars of your life? How could you use those scars to point others to Jesus?
- Who has shared their scars with you? How did their testimony impact you?
Practice This
Share the testimony of how your scars point to Jesus.
