Problem Solving?

Allrighty then, two reboots already this morning. It seems that I have not yet isolated the problem here. To bring back the good ol' days, I can imagine an exec lurking over my shoulder asking me when the problem will be fixed. If this makes no sense to you then join the club, you are now at least partly qualified to work in IT. If it makes perfect sense to you, head on up the hill your new career as an executive leader is ready and waiting for you. In this life, only one person knew what the problem was and exactly when the fix would occur. Jesus didn't have to wait on parts; he didn't need help with the diagnosis; and he had everything under control. Jesus even knew exactly when and where the problem began. Many of our own problems just seem to come out of nowhere. We are not sure what the problem is, cannot quite remember when it started, and aren't even sure which symptoms belong with the problem and which are the result of something else. I cannot recall how many times in my old work in IT that I solved problems by furiously swapping out parts until things worked again. Praise God that Jesus didn't have to do that to solve the problem of sin in the human race. The interesting thing is that Jesus didn't even seem to solve the problem: He simply paid the bill that was due. Our 'system' in this world is still clunking along. None of us would call the world fixed right now. Yet, God has declared his grace sufficient because of His Son's sacrifice. Doesn't seem to make sense to our worldly view, but praise God that we believe in Jesus! Have a great new day in Christ! Bucky
