Don't sit at the bottom

"There he goes-a hero. A savior to the world
There he stands with scars in his hands.
With love he gave his life so we could be free.
The savior of the world."

Sometimes, despite where we are in our Christian walk, we just need to go back to the basics, cry about it for a while and just let it touch us. Hero by Abandon did just that for me.

And as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me

In class, my teacher often talks about how when God looks at us, all He sees is Christ. He sees us as perfect people. But, how can this be? We are so incredibly sinful. This is the message of the gospel: Christ died so that we did not have to bear the burden of our own sin. He died the death we could not die. He switched places with us, in a sense. God looks at us and sees the perfect man in whom He is well pleased. Amazing.
