Jesus Restores Us

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 4–6
• Acts 17:16–34

The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

Genesis 3:21

Although Sam had done nothing wrong, he lost his job on the assembly line. Carelessness in another division led to problems in cars they built. After several crashes made the news, wary customers stopped buying their brand. The company had to downsize, leaving Sam out of work. He’s collateral damage, and it isn’t fair. It never is.

History’s first collateral damage occurred immediately after the first sin. Adam and Eve were ashamed of their nakedness, so God graciously clothed them with “garments of skin” (Genesis 3:21). It’s painful to imagine, but one or more animals that had always been safe in the garden were now slaughtered and skinned.

There was more to come. God told Israel, “Every day you are to provide a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord; morning by morning you shall provide it” (Ezekiel 46:13). Every. Single. Day. How many thousands of animals have been sacrificed because of human sin?

Their death was necessary to cover our sin until Jesus, the Lamb of God, came to remove it (John 1:29). Call this “collateral repair.” As Adam’s sin kills us, so the Last Adam’s (Christ’s) obedience restores all who believe in Him (Romans 5:17–19). Collateral repair isn’t fair—it cost Jesus’ life—but it’s free. Reach out to Jesus in belief and receive the salvation He offers, and His righteous life will count for you.

Reflect & Pray

When have you suffered for someone else’s mistake? When have you benefited from someone’s success, and how should you think about both situations?

Jesus, I believe in You, and I know Your life counts for me.

I DID get to ride today!

Rode around locally, got gas, and came home. Penny and I spent some time together as well, and of course, I played bass in church this morning.

Howdy, Kathy.

Not exactly a restful day. Been doing things around the house that had been neglected the past few days. But doing them at a slow pace. LOL

We did get rain today. A brief heavy hit this morning and another heavy hit around 4:00 this afternoon. It appears the front stalled and it’s been raining steadily ever since. We’ll take it.

You’ve had some interesting looking clouds along the mountains this afternoon. And it was clear enough to the north for a little while that we were able to get a nice look at Mt. Denali.

Have your ducks been coming by for supper lately or have they moved on for a little while? You know they won’t be gone for long. LOL
