2 Corinthians 3:6 May 5, 2013

Brad Barris
2 Corinthians 3:6

"He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

In golf, we call it a "mulligan". In everyday life we ask for a "do over". Our school's teachers make us, "do it again", until we get it right.

How come we're not perfect? I remember expecting perfection when I invited the Lord into my life. I thought a magic wand would be waved over my head and all human imperfection would disappear forever. Through life, I quickly learned that I couldn't come close to keeping the "letter of the law".

The law became a mirror for me to peer into and see the imperfections of my life just like the view I get in the
bathroom mirror every morning.

I'm glad God looks inside and grants me a "do over"every day because as I see it I'll never be an
"American Idol".

Lord, thank you for sending Your Son for my sake because I realize I can't make it on my own....Amen
