THE open-air preacher
stated his theme: "Mistakes in the Bible." Someone in the crowd
yelled out, "Good on ya, preacher! I always knew there were mistakes in
the Bible!"
"Yes," said
the preacher, "there's the mistake of Adam, the mistake of Cain, the
mistake of the rich young ruler. There are so many mistakes recorded in the
Bible that you'll find your mistake there too!"
The Bible records
people's mistakes not only to warn us but to reveal how we can be forgiven for
our mistakes and how we can rise above them. The Bible unveils the truth that
God doesn't turn a blind eye to our sin. The cross of Christ testifies to the
price God paid to forgive us, before and after we became believers.
Living by God's word
also has power -- power to save us from making mistakes that offend God and
hurt ourselves and others. Psalm 119 is dedicated to God in thanksgiving for
the Law. The psalmist was thankful. How much more thankful should we be who
know the rest of the story, the story of Christ? (Raymond N. Hawkins/Australia – Upperroom.org)
Because of grace, our mistakes can be stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks.
