Day 9 of 30 day devotional.
When God became Incarnate in Jesus Christ for the purpose of removing sin, men saw nothing in Him to desire. But when the heart of a sinner is reached, that is a state of heart and mind able to understand why it was necessary for God to become Incarnate. The worst state a man could ever be in is never to have had a twinge or conviction of sin, everything happy and peaceful, but absolutely dead to the realm of things Jesus represents.
The majority of us are shallow, we do not bother our heads about Reality. We are taken up with actual comforts, with actual ease and peace, and when the Spirit of God comes in and disturbs the equilibrium of our life we prefer to ignore what He reveals.
Reflection Questions: Why is misplaced peace so deadly? Why is easy peace so temporary? Why is comfort the enemy of peace?
