The Impossible Divide






We’re all looking for God. Some of us admit it. Others of us
don’t.


The thing is, our efforts to find him always fail. Prayer,
meditation, ritual, repetition, fasting, feasting…. You name it, we try it. Pretty
much every religion ever invented requires us to do things. But whether
we are as saintly as Mother Teresa or as evil as Adolf Hitler, we fail to reach
God. It’s an impossible divide to cross.


So God reached out to us. He came in human form, died for us
(Good Friday) and then rose again (Easter Sunday), breaking death and bridging
the impossible divide. The impossible divide to cross was crossed with a real
cross.


What we could never do, Jesus did for us. Because of what Jesus
did, we can cross the impossible divide and know God. Forty-two years ago, I
prayed a prayer that changed my life. Here it is. If you pray it too, please
write and let me know. Happy Easter.


Lord Jesus


I know you are alive and are still changing lives today.
Please change mine.


Forgive me Lord for my life lived without you.


I invite you in right now as my Lord and Saviour.


Please come and change me.


Please come and bridge the impossible divide.


Amen.
