An Ambulance - EMT

Galatians 1:4
As I was working today there were sirens outside the group home I work at. Being concerned about what was going on, we peered out to see paramedics assisting someone who must have had a medical emergency while driving somewhere. I know from experience how scary that can be, I hope it never happens again. I also pray that whoever it was will be fine.
There was a time when all of us needed to be rescued, far more than the best EMT's could handle; for all mankind were victims of the guilt of sin and we needed a remedy. We needed to be saved from the clutches of death. Fortunately, God had a plan prepared for saving us. Paul wrote, "Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God the Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live (Galatians 1:4 NLT)." Jesus became the one to deliver us from the end that we deserved. The Great Physician brought more than physical healing but went to the root of our pain, our fallen, sinful nature. Once he healed us, Christ passed on the torch so we would go out to offer healing and forgiveness to others as his representatives. So, consider your part of Christ's emergency team appointed to bring the breath of life to those that are perishing. Pray that God will give you what you need to persevere in your mission.

The Christian music video that goes with today's devotion is "Remedy" by David Crowder Band.
