When I was younger I scrapped my knee today playing football. Now before you judge me and call me a "whimp," let me explain. It was a tiny little cut. It bled a little. Nothing to serious. Actually, I continued to play with it. At first, it was somewhat painful and a little uncomfortable but nothing to bad. Eventually, I forgot that my cut was there until i ran into my dresser and realized again that I cut my knee. So I washed it. Bandaged it.
Do you know where I am going with this?
In my life, sin is like that little cut. My sin causes a little uncomfort and then usually within minutes, I forgot that it is there. I continue to live this life, usually forgetting that I have sin until it rises again. I live my life being totally ignorant of my cuts. And more and more little cuts develop in my life. See one cut on my knee is not going to kill me. My guess is, I would go about my life just fine. The problem is, the more little cuts I get, the faster I bleed to death.
Ready for the Good News?! God has the bandage for our wounds. He has the cure for our disease. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He sent Christ to die to seal our wounds forever. If we believe that He died and rose again three days later, than every time we get a little cut, Christ heals our sins, with the same care and passion like a mother bandaging her small child.
Let me ask you: Are you bleeding to death?
