Romans 8:2 (ESV)
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in
Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
A lot of people use Snapchat as a way to connect with their
friends. You can send them a photo, video, add a caption, and send the snap off
to a friend. Snapchat is a great app to use and a lot of fun.
Have you ever thought about the fact that Jesus is a lot
like Snapchat? No, Jesus isn’t an app or a way to communicate with your
friends, but we can learn about Jesus from Snapchat.
Once a snap is sent, it can be viewed for a limited amount
of time. Then the snap deletes. Its never seen again. This is a lot like what
Jesus did for us on the cross. Our sin was a barrier to get to God. We couldn’t
come to God on the basis of our works, because any sin, no matter how small
keeps us from knowing God. What we needed was a solution to our sin. The
solution was Jesus.
Jesus was able to delete sin, permanently. Once we ask
Jesus to forgive us of our sins, they’re gone, deleted once and for all. Just
like the snaps in snapchat. They can’t be viewed again once they’re deleted.
And that’s what Jesus did for us. He deleted the sin out of our lives by dying
on the cross. His death and resurrection caused the sin problem to be
destroyed. When we accept Jesus in our lives, all our sins are deleted. They’re
gone. We can go to God as if sin never existed in our lives.
So the next time you use snapchat, let it be a reminder to
you of how Jesus was and is the solution to sin.
Dear Lord, we thank You for the forgiveness of our sins. We
thank You that once you forgive of us our sin they are gone forever. In the
Name of Jesus, Amen.
