At Just the Right Time
I'm enjoying writing more and more. Not that I really have a lot to write about, but...Romans 5:6, Paul states that "at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." I suppose it could be broken down several ways, but the main three that stick out to me are:
1) just the right time--I've often wondered about the "what if" Jesus had come in today's time with Cell Phones, the Web, Guns, etc. But that really is useless to think about. God's appointed time was part of the redemptive plan. Thank you God for your sovereignty!
2) when we were still powerless--."we" were powerless up to that point. All "we" could do was burn an animal and ask the priest to take care of the rest. But now "we" are no longer powerless, we have resurrection power.
3) the ungodly--that is us. And yet it is his that covers us and presents us in a way that God can truly look upon us.
Kind of quick but wanted to get this out.
Be blessed
