When a Piece of Wood is Enough

2 Kings 6:6 “So the man of God said, ’Where did it fall?’ And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there and he made the iron float.”

Moses had a rod which he raised up… he hit the rock with his rod to let the water flow from the rock.

The cross is enough… it took Jesus upon the piece of wood to be raised up and conquer death.

A piece of wood, what does that have to do with it? Every part of the Bible is significant to the piece of wood. It points to something that happened that was significant for us on wood. It points to the cross which was a piece of wood on which Christ was crucified for us. God wants us to realize that Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary was enough to take care of all our problems and to restore us to the Father so that our sins can be forgiven.

It’s enough to cleanse us and reconcile us so that we have an open portal in which we can enter heaven through Christ Blood.  If we apply what He did on that piece of wood, it sure is enough for us no matter how far we have fallen away from where we should be. Jesus took all our failures and he allowed it to be nailed to that wood, he arose from that wood victorious and gave that victory to us.

If you have lost your will to carry on or feeling that you are too far from Christ to move forward, then just pick up a piece of wood and look at it and begin to realize that Christ and His piece of wood was more than enough for you.

Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. He has conquered all your fears and all your problems through that piece of wood. The piece of wood is enough, just as Christ’s Grace is sufficient for you. So that piece of wood is sufficient for your life in Christ.

We should stop making the Bible so complicated that is scares people away from God instead of towards Him. We need the unsaved to know that the piece of wood is more than enough to make it right in life. That Christ’s life is the only Way and it is the Truth of what life is and it is the Life which we all long for.

John 20 is our victory in Christ!

Prayer

Father God, forgive me for allowing the pressures of the world to cloud my vision of who You are in my life.  Jesus, I believe that Your work on the cross was enough to restore me. Abba Father every time I see a piece of wood may it remind me of what you did for me on the cross. Thank you for saving me through your love for me. In Jesus Name Amen
