A short post....

Bad things happen all around us everyday. Sometimes they happen to us, and sometimes they happen to others. This is a sad reality of living in a sin-cursed world (Gen. 3). Absolutely everything was jacked up after that one event, thus we find ourselves in a jacked up world living tough lives that seem to have more difficulty than blessing.
But you know what? That’s all ok.
Well, how can I say that?
Because God is good!
Well how can I possibly say that?
Because God came to this jacked up world and lived a tough life for roughly 33 years. Not only did He do that, He came with a mission - to reconcile all of us jacked up and sinful people to Himself.
-He kept His own Law for us.
-He paid the price of punishment His Law required of us (the Law breakers), stepping into our place in the judgment seat at the cross.
-He freely offers us forgiveness and reconciliation with Him through repentance and faith, when we have done nothing to deserve or earn it.
So, in a sin-filled, jacked up world where life is tougher than it is easier, how am I able to hold my head up, maintain hope, and say that God is good?
It’s all because of Jesus.
Do you know Him as your Lord and Savior?
