The Gospel in Tech Speak - My random thoughts

All techie geeks will be familiar with this shortcut key, Ctrl+Z - the saving grace of undo.  It’s a godsend if you’ve just changed something that totally screws up what you’ve been working on, and with a quick combination of keys you can get back to where you were.

Often in life it would be great if we could undo some of the things we’ve done, take back those hurtful words, rollback those shameful sins, rewind your past failings.  And thats the scandal of the gospel in a few quick keystrokes, Jesus has provided the solution to our problem of sin that has corrupted and messed up God’s handiwork in creation.  By trusting in him he can undo (Ctrl+Z) the consequences of our sin : past, present and future, and give us the second chance we don’t deserve : complete with a re-formated hard-drive to live a new life in Him.

He cuts’s (Ctrl+X) our sin from our lives and pastes (Ctrl+V) it on himself at Calvary, and then calls us to Copy (Ctrl+C) him in how to live our newly re-formatted life. If we allow Him to control (Ctrl) our lives he gives us the power, by his Spirit at work in us, to follow him and leave the sins of our past behind.

Just need to work at putting this into practice in my life, giving him complete control  (Ctrl) of my life.
