Broken Things
Written November 10, 2020
I stare at the broken things Before me, behind me, beside me The broken things speak “You broke me” I try to fix the broken things Before me, behind me, beside me The broken things speak “You’re so broken you can’t see the problem is you not me“ I live with the broken things Before me, behind me, beside me The broken things speak “You can try to leave, but this will still be“ I have become a little broken thing Before me, behind me, beside me Despair is all I see Jesus, may your brokenness be all I need to believe
Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process.
Hebrews 10:11-14 (MSG)
He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
