A Ready Remedy

Bible in a Year : Isaiah 9–10; Ephesians 3

The punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Following the park guide, I scribbled notes as he taught about the plants of the Bahamian primeval forest. He told us which trees to avoid. The poisonwood tree, he said, secretes a black sap that causes a painful, itchy rash. But not to worry! The antidote could usually be found growing right next it. “Cut into the red bark of the gum elemi tree,” he said, “and rub the sap on the rash. It will immediately begin to heal.”

I nearly dropped my pencil in astonishment. I hadn’t expected to find a picture of salvation in the forest. But in the gum elemi tree, I saw Jesus. He’s the ready remedy wherever the poison of sin is found. Like the red bark of that tree, the blood of Jesus brings healing.

The prophet Isaiah understood that humanity needed healing. The rash of sin had infected us. Isaiah promised that our healing would come through “a man of suffering” who would take our sickness upon Himself (Isaiah 53:3). That man was Jesus. We were sick, but Christ was willing to be wounded in our place. When we believe in Him, we are healed from the sickness of sin (v. 5). It may take a lifetime to learn to live as those who’re healed—to recognize our sins and to reject them in favor of our new identity—but because of Jesus, we can.

Reflect & Pray

What other pictures in the natural world do you see of the salvation God offers us? What has the healing He offers meant to you?

Wherever sin is, Jesus is there, ready to save.

Good example of what can be done if one has both guts and a lack of worry about negative consequences. Some of the events of the HMS Glowworm were incorporated in ‎Noël Coward’s ‘In Which We Serve’. The character of the destroyer commander Capt. Kinross RN seems to me to have more of Lt Cdr Roope than Mountbatten.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

All rested and ready to take on the new week?

HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH!

[mountainlion]

The good old days when men fought for God and country. Bad manners to an enemy were in bad taste.

As much as I would of loved to stay on the lake, we had to come home. Last few things to do cleaning the old shop. Then arranging the new location and setting up my plasma cutting table. So I’m as ready as I can be.

What a great story about the tragically lost HMS Glowworm. RIP all the ones who perished aboard while it sank after pursuing and ramming the enemy. And thanks to those same enemies who rescued some of the survivors even though they were made POWs. That’s war.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...you and Blue get out today? You and Penny?

Sprinkling most of the day, heavy the last hour. Over a half inch of rain so far...we are catching up and snow is on the mountain tops.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, robowombat, and welcome to the Canteen.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Were you able to get through your trip to the lake without Gizmo trying to run off for a change? :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...the roast came out perfectly! 3 1/2 hours and fork ready. Thanks for the instructions. LOL!

All chores finally done, and I am beat. Tried to check the FR news, but I keep falling asleep...time to give it up and go to bed.

Did you make some progress on the new house? Good stuff moved around?
