“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Praise God for that. That’s why we’re here at the altar of God: to
give thanks that he comes to show us the right way. I mean, where would we be without him . . .
busy building a house on a sandy foundation?
Or trying to convince ourselves that those “bad apples” lying on the
ground are from somebody else’s tree?
What a wonder it is to know that we’re sinners—and God still
comes to us and loves us. God, the
Creator of the universe, “raises up the lowly from the dust; from the dunghill
he lifts up the poor.” God does that! He opens our eyes to see more clearly, and
our hearts to love more truly. He gives
us faith and hope. And he speaks the
truth with love.
How lucky we are to be sinners, and to have a God such as we
have. How lucky and blessed we are.
