Evening: Psalm 34; Matthew 1:18-25
Hebrews says Christ made a ‘sacrifice of atonement’ for people’s sins. This is not Christ paying our debt to God. God needs no payment from us. When we act to deny Love - sin - a disruption occurs in the Cosmos. Our hearts know that this disruption calls for an act of healing to make it right. God’s taking flesh and dying to address human sin is that powerful act; it atones for harm done and opens the path to reconciliation. It makes us whole again. How? Our minds may not understand, but our hearts know that healing requires sacrifice.
