There is Dear Reader, a simple experiment that can show something of the grace of God. We can take some water, and in it, place some colouring or dye, black for example, it's tiny amount colours the whole jar of water. Like sin contaminating the world. Yet for all it's effects, sin is finite. God's grace however is coming from an infinite being, and like fresh and clear water added to this mix, slowly , then with ever more quickening force, the dye starts to dilute. Eventually, it becomes transparent, and then but a memory, and finally not even that. This Dear Reader is the power of God upon our lives, for those who accept his wonderful solution, sin will not even be a memory in our lives, it's effects will be diluted, then forgotten, this is grace in action.

How can we know Dear Reader, what the Christ sees when he looks at us. For in His amazing sight, nothing is hidden, he sees the sin, bent upon our back, twisting the form God gave to us at the beginning. Yet at the same time he sees the potential of what we were meant to be, the humans he desired to see upon his earth, and he weeps. He weeps because sin has removed us so far from where he wanted us to be, he weeps because of the cost which must be paid on this friday to cover and remove this power of sin, he weeps because so many will fail ever to take the time to understand the sacrifice which was made, he weeps because so many will never be with him. Yet he triumphs, he triumphs because the debt is paid and sin rules no more, he triumphs because his is risen and is the perfect human, he triumphs because some do listen and are returned to where we are meant to be, with the Christ. The question Dear Reader, is where will you be this Friday?
