thoughts

I read this a few days ago and it really made me think about how we look at the sin in our lives and how we look at the law.” As 4 Mwinika men helped translate bible stories from creation to exodus, they began to see Gods holiness.
One man said ‘We are worried about Gods standards. Just show us the Law. We want to know the list of rules we need to do!’

But when they translated the Ten Commandments into their language, they realised how desperately they fell short of Gods standards. They said ‘we are all at zero! We have no chance!’ they covered there face and began to cry. The missionary cried too, assuring them that he came to tell them they are in trouble but there is hope.

The Law was doing what God meant it to do: showing them there sin and preparing them to hear about Jesus!”

When you see the law how do you react does it break you, do you realise like these men that without Christ we are helpless we can never reach Gods standard of holiness. Its only through Christ and his grace that we can ever hope to reach Gods standard of holiness. Does Gods holiness every break us do we every look at our lives and realise without Christ we are without hope. Praise God we have Hope in Christ, in him our future is assured, as will these men’s future as someone gave their lives so that other might hear of the hope that is in us.

We have the privilege of hearing about and reading about Gods standard and also his grace we can Worship him freely but what about those who have never heard or those who want to hear and cant because there are not enough people to bring the news.
