This
Week's Clue:
_____________________________________________________________
Rebel
Without a Cause
"Only
a few would welcome and receive him . . . all they needed to do was
to trust him to save them." ~
John 1:12, TLB.
We
want to do it ourselves. If anyone is going to save us, we want to
be the one. Trust God? Forget it! We look at his solution to sin--the
blood of Christ on the cross--and just as his Word says, we mock and
ridicule it. We turn our noses up and and try "better" solutions.
While
we do this, God sees and waits for us to come to our senses, to admit
we don't have the answer. After all, who but he is wise enough to
solve the sin problem? Who has graciously made the way for our freedom?
When
we finally decide to turn from our sin and love God, we stop being
rebels without a cause. Instead, we are set free from our eternal
death penalty as we choose to trust in God's one and only solution,
and gain the right to become his beloved children.
