Painting Over Your Cracks

Scripture

John 3:16-18

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Observation

Condem

1. express complete disapproval of, typically in public; censure.

2. sentence (someone) to a particular punishment, especially death.

Application

A good coat of paint will brighten up a room. However, it will not change the flaws. Oh, it will cover them up for a time, but they are still there. Jesus came to wash away our flaws to help us change them. He didn’t come to judge you and then send you on to hell. He came to repair them and help to make you strong. He doesn’t want to slap a coat of paint over your cracks. His blood was meant to fill them.  Best part, we don’t even have to do the painting. We just have to believe in the painter!

Prayer

Lord, thank you for loving me cracks and all. ~Amen
