Do you often see somebody with several piercings in the world? People usually get piercings for various reasons and some individuals get several piercings throughout their bodies. Now here is the next question do you ever think about the piercing of the heart? Now you may be thinking that you may not be able to actually pierce the heart like you do modern piercing today to show your independence and freedom. Jesus was pierced through the heart with hatred but He did it with love for his children by being pierced through the sides and hands.
There is a camp church song called Pierce My Ear and the song represents being a servant to God by allowing him to pierce our ear. When piercing the ear in today's society we often think about earrings and other rings that will show the piercing however that is not the case with God. For you do not need earrings to serve the Father who gave up his son for his children out of love; and the same children are the ones who pierced the Son right through the heart by piercing his sides and hands while on that cross.
We should let Christ pierce our ear to be a servant of his as his heart was pierced right through the heart from the world today. God's word is also so powerful that it should also pierce our own hearts as we spend the time in his word and having that pierced heart can represent being a servant to God.
Exodus 21:6 (KJV) Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.
Psalm 37:15 (TNIV) But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
Psalm 38:2 (TNIV) Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.
Revelation 1:7 (KJV) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, A-men.
Let God pierce your ear and let his word pierce your heart with love for he was pierced in the heart by his children who pierced him, but he did it for God's children out of love. Take a look at the piercings you may have in your life and remember Christ was pierced for you so will you let your heart be pierced for him out of true love for the father and to show that a pierced heart through love to be a servant for God the father. A-men.
