As Christians remember and talk about the execution of Jesus,
I think, we use the wrong preposition.
Instead of saying and believing that Jesus died for our sins,
I think we should say and believe that Jesus died because of our sins.
And, believing as I do that the Bible,
Including this story,
Is as much about now as it is about then
And as much about you and me as it is about them
I wonder…
How many of God’s children…
How many of God’s daughters and sons
Continue to die because of our sins?
Paul – A lot to think about.
Thank you.
Wow…I’ve never thought of it that way. Good question.
