Because of sin, all die spiritually, cut off from the presence of God. Jesus Christ alone bridges that awful gap. Because of Him you can be born again, you can receive God’s greatest gifts: the gift of His Spirit and the gift of His life, by the gift of His Son. Jesus Christ is the Life.
There is a hole in every heart, caused by separation from God. Much of what we do is touched by a hazy, almost unconscious desire to fill that void and recover the security and warmth we once knew. On our own, nothing is enough, because the void is separation from God, and only God’s presence can fill it again.
We can’t begin to imagine the pains He had to bear. We can’t comprehend suffering so great as to cause blood to ooze from every pore. We can’t fathom the depths of His despair as he cried out three times for the bitter cup to pass Him by, three times yielding God’s will be done, three times denied.
Is it any wonder then, He and He alone could pay the full measure of our debt? Is it any wonder, He and He alone can succor and sustain and strengthen and understand us wherever we are, whoever we are, whatever we are?
How can we not trust in Him?
