Not a single one of us has lived a perfect life. We have all in some way broken a law. Not a law of a town or country ,but an absolute moral law. In essence we commit high treason. Yet we are all given a chance. A pardon if you will. It however is no get out of jail free card.
I have realized that the more I learn and experience my faith the more I understand just how perilous our situation seems. Our very nature one that is selfish and wants to disregard the rules any time we cant bend them. However there was one man who did something incredible. Something only God is capable of. He lived a sinless life and died a horrible death to save humanity.
We all have people we would gladly bleed for, but to do so for everyone it seems at first ridiculous. However now I see it as the truest love.
I have learned that this isnt some sentimentality. This love challenges you. It forces you to take a long look at yourself and you might just end up saying " I am a bad person". Then however it does something amazing. It reminds you how far you have come. You might have been tempted or perhaps fighting minutes before but it is there. To discipline you and when forgiveness comes to show you how far you have come and the goal with which we struggle a lifetime. Santification.
