Drawing the line

It is said that we have to draw a line somewhere when enough is enough. We find certain behaviour unacceptable and we do all we can to stop it. I started to think about all the times God had to draw a line and put a stop to the way we behave.

Some of the occasions that I could think of included: The guarding of the tree of life after Adam and Eve were put out of the Garden of Eden; (Genesis 3) the great flood, (Genesis 6) the tower of Babel, (Genesis 11).

The most important occasion was of course the death of Christ on the Cross. “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30.

God has said enough is enough, your sins can be forgiven, come to Jesus, He has the answer to all your bad behaviour.

Prayer: Thank you Father for drawing the line between good and evil at the cross.
