One Big Heel

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.  Romans 6:19

I would use that dude in ancient times who had only one physical weakness, an Achilles heel so to speak, as an example if only I could remember his name to look up his story. There are those days in which we might feel that we are one big heel by way of physical weakness, and even more so in terms of our moral fortitude. While admitting to physical weakness becomes easier with age and the lowered expectations thereof, coming to face that moral weakness is less easy without some proof. The law in the Bible is of course the gold standard in showing us our moral weakness, especially when we get to that part where our Lord Jesus tells the disciples that simply thinking of sin counts against us too. To our great relief, the Bible does not stop there but goes on to tell us how Jesus fixed this heel-ness we have by way of paying Himself to satisfy the judgment of God upon our sin. We do not have to make that turnabout from lawlessness to holiness in our weakness but do it in His strength. The weak ones enjoy the powerful enabling of God's Holy Spirit given to us by our Lord Jesus. 

Obviously the one little verse I picked out for today does not show all of this. It is there in Paul's letter to the Romans and the gospels of Jesus Christ. Read and study the word of God! 

Love in Christ to you on this day,
