Fix

Imagine the scene, a film comedy where the main character knocks over a priceless Ming vase and then desperately dives to try and rescue it. Or when the character breaks something for which they know there will be repercussions. I am sure that we can all thing of films where we have seen an incident such as this, or maybe we have been the character in the centre of a real life drama of similar magnitude.

The reality is that we all break things.....


It might be something small such as a glass or maybe something big like the aforementioned Ming vase, but generally when we break things we expect consequences.

As a child when I broke something in the kitchen like a glass or a bowl I was always really upset, not because I thought I would be punished for the accident but rather that I had broken something that wasn't mine to break.

God gave Moses the ten commandments on a tablet of stone and Moses went and broke the tablet.
God gave Jonah directions to Nineveh and Jonah followed directions for the opposite direction.
God gave man and woman perfection and they broke it.

The reality is that we all break things.....


As well as the physical objects we are also historically and presently very good at breaking the law and will of God!
But the promise is that when we do break things we do not have a father who punishes us harshly, but rather a confidence to find grace and mercy by approaching the God whose laws and will we have broken....

We will never stop breaking things, but God will never stop forgiving
We will always fall short but Gods grace is sufficient!
