If The Crucifixion Was The Cure?

 If Christ’s crucifixion was the cure…then how bad was the sickness?

If the severity of the sickness is measured by the immense cost of its cure, then the sickness…the sin has to be considered a catastrophic, terminal, and all-pervasive spiritual disease afflicting all humanity.

 

It’s hard for me to grasp God’s thinking. If I were in God’s shoes this world would be on its own. It would be a sink or swim situation…your screw ups are your problem.

 

I’m glad not to be in charge. I am so thankful Jesus took the medicine for me. As a late arrival to the vineyard, I am grateful for the full day’s wages. That undeserved reward is my goal. 

 

Dear Lord 

Help me to understand your ways

When you come to set the world ablaze

Protect me from the evil one

Who strives to do your work undone

 

Thank you for your abundant grace

Please help me run and finish the race

I do not have to understand 

Why your love is so grand

Amen
