God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV
I work with federal grants and most everyone know those come with lots of red tape. In drafting a new grant agreement, the one I was working from wasn't quite where I wanted it to be, so I started a new one. The new version will have all the bells and whistles and be precise and strong, with carefully crafted language. It will be the model I use to write the other grants. This new one will help make the others stronger and more resistent to potential problems down the road.
The human condition caused our original untainted predecessor to be full of holes and not quite where God needed him to be in order to commune with God the way God intended it to be. The new version needed tweaking. God searched for centuries, thinking he'd found a replacement a time or two only to be let down. So he took matters into his own hands, threw out the old ones and made a whole new contract with man. He sends Jesus to be made perfect for us since we can't do it ourselves. We believe in him. We are made perfect through the contract of the cross. We can now commune with God as he intended. Grant closed. It always feels good to close a contract and know that it was perfectly executed. That's how God does things. Perfectly.
So sign on with him today. Let Jesus make you whole again through the cross.
