The Perfect Fit

Long time no see! But I come bearing a wonderful article from Sephron Says!

During a recent conversation with my grandmother, we decided to start doing bible studies. The first night was last night, and during our conversation I was led to a certain scripture. Psalm 89: 49-52 NLT. My situation in my home is a bit hectic at times, and my situation in the outside world as well. So when I read these passages, I was startled to realize how relevant they were. This pleased me so much. So that was where our bible study, via IM, began. Then, she IM’ed me the same passages from her bible version. It was the same sort of thing, but not directly pinpointed to my situation, but to the general situation of all christ followers. It was then that I had a revelation.

I’d always been given wonderful, leather-bound bibles as a gift from family members. But every one I received was KJV. When I joined a youth program I got a daily devotional bible. I only read it when I needed to for an assignment. Even in the recent years I asked for someone to buy me bibles because they looked cool, or made more sense, but I never bought my own…until recently. Being a lover of anime and manga I was amazed when Manga Messiah came out, the manga version of Jesus’ life! A second one: Manga Metamorphosis came out, and in the back of that book I saw an ad for the Manga Bible. It is the bible, with little inserts of the bible in manga form. i immediately went out and got it. I was so happy when I got it, and I felt so proud to have bought a bible I would love. A bit of time passed and while in the hospital with a bruised lung, my mom cleaned up my room from the mess my dog had made while I was away.

I came home, to find that the Manga Bible was nowhere to be found! I discovered she had thrown it out. I was so angry with her for throwing it away, and I went to the bookstore and ordered another one. I don’t know why I ordered another one, but I was led to that bible, and only that bible. When it came in, I was as happy as I could be. I’ve had this one for almost two years now. I notice that now, when times are tough in the world or at home, instead of getting so mad at everything, I look to the bible, flip to a random page, and read. The passage I find is usually relevant and soothing.

So now, back to the point. Sometimes, the bible you choose is a perfect fit, and you might not even realize it until years later! What if I had owned the bible my grandmother owned, and flipped to Psalm 89: 49-52…and it had been different. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. If I hadn’t owned the Manga Bible, I would not be writing this article today, and you would not be reading it tomorrow, and any other days past this one. This article wouldn’t be floating around on the internet for a christian or non believer to discover, and in a rare case…this article wouldn’t be able to change someone’s life. Sometimes, God works in mysterious ways…and it’s because I was led to this bible…that I am able to walk the life of a stronger christ follower.

Todays scripture will be displayed in King James Version and New Living Translation.

Matthew 9: 1-8

KJV: And he entered into a ship and passed over, and came into his own city. And, behold, they brought him to a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, this man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier to say, Thy sins be forgiven the; or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up they bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which have given such power unto men.

NLT: Jesus climbed into a boat and went back across the lake to his own town. Some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.” But some of the teachers of religiuous law said to themselves, “That’s blasphemy! Does he think he’s God?” Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts? It is easier to say ‘ Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Stand up and walk’? So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.” then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!” And the man jumped up and went home! Fear swept through the crowd as they saw this happen. And they praised God for sending a man with such great authority.

What did you get from this scripture? If you wish to share, comment on this post.

I believe that this shows the awesome power of God and how he can not only heal, but take away sins. Jesus’ example of removing sin from the man might have also been forshadowing his sacrifice on the cross for all men.

A prayer: Lord, I know you can remove my sins this day, I may have faltered here and there, but I am still yours. Forgive me of my sins this day my Lord, for I know that any ailment cast upon me by satan can be reversed and removed only by you! Take my illness from me Lord and may I be pure in your eyes. In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
