for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [romans 3:23]

 

ch a simple verse. but, through just a few simple words, romans 3:23 coveys so much brokenness, hurt, and depravity.

 

take a second to consider the sheer volume of sin that has ever occurred against God. all people, for all of their lives, sinning against God.

this starts to put the grace that is offered to us through Jesus into perspective.

the weight of sin of all of humanity vs. holy Jesus.

 

how perfect, how powerful, how holy, how righteous, how valuable is Jesus that he is worth more than the cost of our sin.

 

my prayer is this brings you to worship today.

consider how great, mighty, powerful, holy, compassionate, and valuable Jesus is.

don’t move too quickly past this opportunity to worship.

may we worship king Jesus today.

amen.
