Romans 5 9-11, Reconciled

Once there was a family torn by a bitter divorce. All that held common interest for the divorced parents was their little girl. One day she was playing in the street and was hit by a vehicle. She was rushed to the hospital and her parents came to her bedside.

What Really Mattered

As they stood hovering near, her eyes popped open and she looked from father to mother standing on opposite sides of the bed. With all of her remaining strength, she reached for the hands of both and brought them together across her body.

God’s Reconciliation Remedy

2000 years ago, God looked down at His estranged creation. The only way there could be reconciliation would be if someone were to take the hand of man and place it in the outstretched hand of God.

Jesus Christ volunteered to come to earth and pay the price of removing our sin so that we could be reconciled to the Father. He stretched out His arms on the Cross to bridge the gap between ourselves and God.

Take-Away

As the little girl’s parents could have chosen to ignore her request, you can choose to ignore Jesus’ offer. Or you can embrace reconciliation with the heavenly Father.
