December 17 1 Timothy 1:15
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
At Kairos prison ministry one of the residents shared, “We are no different from you; we just made one mistake too many and ended up here.” While I don’t really believe that is totally true it is close to true.
It caused me to think back to my senior year in college. I spent many mornings at 2AM driving home in the snow intoxicated. It would have been too easy to run over a pedestrian in those situations. It would have been one mistake too many.
Since, over time, I realize there are lots of other “sinful” habits and behaviors, not to mention attitudes that makes sense me a prime example of a person in need of forgiveness and Grace.
Do you know you need the forgiving Grace of God?
