Scars

Opening Remarks:

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue (fibrosis) that replace normal skin after an injury. A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process. Do you bear any scars? Are you ashamed of your scars, or do you love them? 

Most importantly, how do you think Jesus feels about our scars? I want to let you know that as bruised, battered and full of scars that you are Jesus loves you with an everlasting love. I can also assure you that Jesus was also beaten, bruised and pierced, and he still bears all the scars from dying on the cross for you and me.
