My Punishment
Listen
Transcript:
Welcome to this brand new week that God has given us. Because there is evil in our actions and in our day to day lifestyle, we need to remember we have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory and Gods law demands that we receive the punishment for our sins.
According to today’s scripture, physical pain or punishment should be inflicted on those who cause injury to another, it further shows that we do not deserve the mercy and grace of God. When Jesus died for us, he was taking our punishment, He died in our place.
We should remember that when we engage in evil activities or said bad things to other people or live a lifestyle that is not glorifying to God, we have to remember those whips and the pain he bore on the way to the cross as He was carrying our sins and because of that He was disconnected from His father. Gods law is irrefutable and We should remember the fact that our punishment was paid for and completed by Jesus and today we can live free even if we have done something wrong because of what Jesus did and knowing this, it needs to bring us to a place of surrender and humility. And now that we understand that Jesus had carried all the pain that was supposed to be ours we need to ask Jesus to give us that life to live in a new way so we don’t do things that will be hurtful to others or in speaking things that will dishonour Him.
We get to live the life of Jesus because Jesus died the death that we should have died. Let us take that step today to walk with Jesus and if there are areas where you need to surrender to Jesus, make that step today.
We get to live the life of Jesus because Jesus died the death that we should have died. Share on XGet This Episode

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
