We are all people living in a fallen world...a world in an imperfect state.
Even on the best of our best days...perfection cannot be reached...not this side of eternity.
We see imperfectly...from imperfect lenses...through imperfect eyes.
We hear imperfectly...from imperfect channels...through imperfect ears.
We love imperfectly...with imperfect words...and imperfect actions.
We are love imperfectly..with imperfect intentions...and imperfect hands.
We travel through our lives, all of us...searching for stability....and a safe places to call home.
And we find, we are, at times, disappointed...even devastated...because imperfections rip and
tear us up... as we journey onward.
Our GOD knew the imperfections we would all face in this world as a result of sin infestation.
HE knew we would be ripped and torn...
and HE knew we would rip and tear.
So on that appointed, prophesied day...GOD sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST ...as the substitute for our sins...to be ripped and torn for us...to suffer and bleed and die...becoming every imperfection ever know to man...
death on a CROSS
buried in a tomb
then
on the third day
CHRIST stepped out of that tomb, risen to life
glorious KING over each imperfection, and over every sin and over all death.
and as HE did, HE looked down through all the ages...searching for YOU
and HE found YOU,
in your time,
in your space
in your condition
and that's when HE lifted HIS nail scarred hands and declared, with victorious, Holy laughter...
"NOW.....YOU can know perfect love!"
