Sin is an
ugly problem. It creates problems with God and problems with our brothers and
sisters. It causes us to be fearful in the presence of a Holy God. It causes us
to shrink away from Him and make excuses for our sins.
Sin causes strife with our brothers.
Envy lurks at every opportunity. Covetousness seeps into our souls. We want
what others have. We demand fairness based upon our own standard. We get
offended and we blame others for our problems.
But God grants us grace in Jesus. He
forgives our sins against Him and invites us to sup with Him at a banquet fit
for kings and princes.
He grants us grace to forgive others
so we can sit with them in sweet fellowship around a bountiful table set with
sumptuous fair.
We are no longer at odds with God. We
are no longer at odds with our brothers. God has granted us glorious
reconciliation where peace reigns at His Table. We partake with deep gratitude.
