Seated Where I Don't Belong...

One thing we can always rely on as Christians is not in our own ability, or our own righteousness or "goodness", but in God's. And not only in God's righteousness, but in his grace through Jesus. One definition of grace is "unmerited favor." Grace is undeserved. It is a gift. Through the gift of Jesus, we can be called sons and daughters of God. The sin of our past selves is washed away. Oh what a gift! The ability to start anew. To be given life, and life more abundant. Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, so we are raised from the debt and death of our sins. Jesus carries us to the table, and seats us where we don't belong. We pass from death to life, once heir to sin, now heir to salvation. It is something only Jesus can do. "All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone." We can't pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps, we can only surrender our lives to Jesus, and then we can truly live.
