A delivery truck recently left a package on our front porch. However, the package wasn’t addressed to us. It should have been delivered to our neighbors up the street.
It’s no problem for me to take the package to my neighbor. It’s no big deal. I can easily cover the driver’s mistake.
However, it wasn’t so easy for God to cover the mistakes of our sins. It took the sacrificial death of his Son Jesus to do that.
That was a big deal!
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”—Romans 5:8.
