We hold our collective breath. Watching what appears to be one foolish decision after another, we silently root for him, desiring (for ourselves) that this tense scene come to completion. And then, he climbs over the top. He has reached the summit! He looks, breathes, takes in the beauty, the wonder… Until a helicopter appears and shoots a capsule into the rock next to him. “Your mission, if you choose to accept it…this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.” You may not be Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible 2. Yet choosing to accept your mission can feel like hanging on a precipice, tense, unsure how to get to the summit.

Yet the Lord makes it clear: “There is no one righteous, not even one…..There is no one who does good, not even one…..For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:10, 12b, 23)
Then I encountered the Living Jesus. Now my picture has changed. |
