CRU Update

Imagine that a recording was made of everything you had ever said, thought and done. Imagine it was made public. How would you feel? I would guess that you would have many achievements that you might be proud of and love for those moments to be shown to others. But at the same time, I think you might be ashamed and disappointed at some things you wish you never did or said. 

Last Friday at CRU, we reflected on how there would be times in our life when we were not too proud of things we had done. In reality, the Bible says we are all like this and that we have not lived up to God’s standards. The Bible says we are sinful and have turned our back on God. This is the world’s greatest problem, and it comes from within the hard hearts of humans, which we gathered from Mark 7. We saw from Mark 12 that while we are commanded to love the Lord God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love our neighbours as ourselves, we so often fall far short of his this. We deserve God’s judgement, and we certainly don’t deserve to live with him. The incredible news for us is that Jesus came to earth with a mission to die in our place and redeem us so that we may have eternal life by believing in him. We will be having a closer look at this death on the cross next week.
