—Luke 1:24-25
by: Paula Davis.
God offers the same restoration to each of us, regardless of the shame we carry around from day to day. When Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice to leave his throne in Heaven and come to earth, to live a life without sin so that he could take the punishment for all mankind, he opened the door to restoration that previously could only be given through sacrifice and the blessing of a priest. Regardless of the baggage you are carrying around today, take a moment to examine it in light of Scripture. If repentance of sin is required, repent; then leave the baggage at the foot of the cross of Jesus. He longs to restore each of us, take away our disgrace, and show his favor in our lives.
