It’s easy, when it comes to our relationship with Jesus, to slip into a routine that, little by little, becomes a grind. That little by little squeezes His grace, mercy and forgiveness out of our reality.
And at some point, you wake up and you realise that this whole “religion” thing has become rather uncomfortable. Not what you’d hoped for. Now, “religion” is one of those words that makes me squirm. It’s about rules and rituals. And to tell you the truth, just in living out our day-to-day lives, the routine, the humdrum, we have more than enough rules in our lives already, don’t we?
Look, in our heads, in your mind, we know that God is a God of grace, mercy and forgiveness. We know that. But in your hearts sometimes, in that reality where you live, it’s easy to fall back on this sneaking suspicion that that’s all too good to be true. That really, God has to be this old man with a big stick. He just has to be. But listen up:
John 3:17 God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.
That’s the truth and that’s why I regularly reacquaint myself with Jesus. Not some image I’ve created of Him in my head, but the Jesus in the Bible. That Jesus. The One who hung on that Cross for me.
Because it’s that Jesus who came to save the likes of you and me. It’s that Jesus who reminds us that God is a God of grace, mercy and forgiveness.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
