The Trial by the Tor
Last night was pretty rough. I had thoughts of going to the emergency room.
For seven years I have been going to the docTOR. It�s hard for me to go to see one. And I couldn�t help but think of a tor�a high rocky hill�that I have to climb every time I drag myself to see a doctor.
Now, I find myself in the greatest trial of my life: I am sitting in the dock waiting for the verdict. You see, I have to wait for the DOCKtor to tell me if I have a life long illness or not.
But I cannot forget there is a Great Physician. And He climbed the tor of Golgotha for me and for you. And though I should have been in the dock�an enclosure in a court of law where the defendant sits during the trial�He took my place. And though He committed no crime, He accepted my punishment. By His blood I am justified (Rom. 5:9). And through His resurrection, by God�s mercy, I have a living hope (1 Pet. 1:3).
