For God so love the world; all manner of persons and sinners in it (gay, lesbians, sodomite, adulterers, fornicators, armed robbers, transgender, abortionist, and all manners of perverts) that He gave His most precious asset- His son Jesus Christ that whosoever believe in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 paraphrase added). Those with pre-Christ righteousness or pocket sized holiness often stand in the way of those who made it worth Jesus dying and suffering on the cross. That was what the Pharisees, the Saducces and the Scribes did: trying to prevent those who really needed Jesus from the saviour but Jesus was always in the company of those vilest sinners; Martha the woman with seven demons, the woman caught in adultery, the woman whose life has been messed up by six men and none was offering her security or hope, the corrupt tax collectors, the smelling and ailing beggers, the really hopeless and helpless. Your pocket sized sin was worth His death but those vilest sinners and sins was what made His suffering and death worth it more. You were the reason His death was worth it. It was a heavy price because you were hopeless and helpless in sin. You are lost but His love has the depth, height, width to reach you no matter your situation. Even the dead is not hopeless because He went to preach to the dead as well and as long as you are alive, His hands are no short to reach you.
If you would like to be reached by His long hands of mercy today, just say this prayer.
Lord Jesus I am lost and it seem my situation is hopeless but you died for such hopeless case like mine and you have given hope to more hopeless case than mine. Step into my situation and pull me our of my mess and weaknesses. Wash me and make a saint out of my sin state. Thank you Jesus.
