We’ve had some big, windy thunderstorms lately, and one the other day blew that leafy branch all the way over onto the church roof!
Looking at that branch is a simple reminder that something had to have happened to get it there.
I hope our lives are also reminders that we got where we are only by something special happening.
Romans 5:6-8 says, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Everything points to Jesus, His goodness, not ours. Jesus is that good. He really will save the worst person who comes to Him in faith.
And He really will take any of us and do amazing things with our lives if we’ll let Him.
I hope people can look at our lives and ask “How’d they get there?” And I hope the answer is Jesus!
