Jesus Restores Us

But unlike with him, or today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread is entitled Jesus restores us. Although Sam had done nothing wrong. He lost his job on the assembly line carelessness in another division. Let the 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. It's painful to imagine, but one or more animals that had always been safe in the garden were now slaughtered and scanned.

There was more to come. God told Israel in Ezekiel chapter 46. 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. Every single day. How many thousands of animals have been sacrificed because of human sin.

Their death was necessary to cover our scent until Jesus, the Lamb of God came to remove it. Call this collateral repair. As Adam sin kills us.

So the last Adams Christ obedience restores all who believe in him. Collateral repair is in fair.

It cost Jesus life, but it's free. Reach out to Jesus in belief and receive the salvation he offers in his righteous life will count for you today Our Daily Bread devotional Scripture reading is from Genesis chapter 3 verses 17 through 24 to Adam he said, because you listen to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, you must not eat from it, cursed is the ground because of you.

Do painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life, it will produce thorns and thistles for you and you eat the plants of the field by the sweat of your brow you eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken for dust you are and to dust you will return. Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them in the Lord God said the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever to the Lord God banished him from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken after he drove the man out. He placed on the east side of the garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Let's pray father, thank you for covering me with the righteousness of the Lamb of God I rest in him. Amen. Today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread ministries
