How Far Can You Jump?

 

How far can you jump?  Can you jump further than me?  You probably can.  But if we were both to stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, would it matter if you could jump further than me?  Would it even matter if you could jump twice as far as me?  Not really, because we both would plunge to our deaths.  That’s because no one could jump across the Grand Canyon.  Paul says in Romans 3:23 and 10, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God … There is none righteous, no, not one.”  The point is not that we are better than someone else, the point is that we are all sinners.  We are all guilty before Almighty God.  But thankfully, Jesus Christ paid for those sins!  And Jesus Christ can carry us across the Grand Canyon, if we will just let Him.  Repent of your sins and Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  He can do what you can’t.
