It’s
been more than a hundred years that America has been driving. Henry Ford
gave us the modern assembly line that has made the car affordable for the
common person.
Improvements
in the design of the car we drive today have come from various inventive people
of the many manufacturers creating the safest vehicles we can have. Each
improvement has been made for saving lives and making life more convenient
ushering in new visions of life together and a perfected kingdom of plenty.
Yet,
today we are reminded that true perfection does not and cannot come from human
hands but from Christ’s perfect work for us. There is no amount of green
technology that can save us. Green technology may save our planet, but our
relationship with God is only perfected through Christ’s willingness to stand
for us in life and death, offering forgiveness and new ways of walking together
in God’s way. Only in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ
is there hope of true relationships of peace and equality.
On
this second day of Holy Week, we pause to remember God’s many great works for
us and give thanks for Christ ’s forgiving
willingness to make us right with God.
Prayer
Lord,
thank you for your forgiving hands that continue to work perfection in us. Amen
