Stumbled upon this
article today and it was too good not to share. Simply love this reminder:
"As the hollow bones of birds were meant for flight, the self-consciousness of man was meant for worship. We worship anything but what is best for us. Such is our insanity. At base, we’re stupid. And insane. This is why redemption is ultimately a vindication of God’s glory by the restoration of the creature to His creator.”
Catch that? Not necessarily the "we're stupid" part, although it's pretty spot on, but the part about redemption. God's vindication of us, the redemption we receive solely out of His mercy, the restoration the comes as a result of our Creator's grace and compassion, that redemption is beautiful! We are awful, wretched, stupid sinners, yet He loved us, right in the middle of us sinning. Hallelujah yall! Let's soar! Let's worship Him!
"It is rare indeed for anyone to die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!" Romans 5:7-9
