God is not cheap. He doesn’t go about things in a small way. Even what seems to be a little deal to us, is really gigantic. For example: Try making some mud. At first it sounds simple enough, but when you have to create your own dirt out of nothing, like God did, it becomes infinitely more complex.
Like dirt, sin has been around a long time. God made dirt out of nothing, and God has the power to make nothing out of sin - one person at a time, worldwide. That’s big, and we can work with God on this one. Our part is to confess we have sin, and trust in his Son Jesus, who paid the price (redeemed) us from our sin through His blood on the cross. God then removes it. It isn’t covered, hidden, or disguised. It’s GONE. That is something the scripture calls lavish, and we can’t do that on our own, or does God do it without our participation.
So, if we find yourself in a dry place like this "old timer" in the cartoon, covered with dirt (sin), and needing refreshment... Isn’t it good to know what we need-to-know to get rid of the sin in our lives? Come on and celebrate God’s grace! It is extravagant!!!
