The `undo` button on my laptop!
This is my favourite button. It
is the most used and necessary of my laptop`s features. Edith Piaf used to belt
out a stirring song
“Non,
Je ne regrette rien”(“No, I regret
nothing”).
I don`t know if she lived by it, but the morphine and alcohol
addiction of her later years and an early death when only 48 years old suggests
all was not what it might have been. When I look back I can think of many
occasions when I wish life had an undo button. But it has not. What has been
said and done cannot now be unsaid or undone. But God has provided something
better, at huge cost to himself, because he loved us he has provided a way that
can put us right with him. The Bible says if we admit the
wrongs we have done, God is faithful and just and will forgive us and purify us
from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). This is real because Christ died on the
cross to take the penalty for all the wrong things we have done. More than that if we trust in Christ then God
will make us a new creation! Wow! Not an “undo” but a “make new” feature: that
is grace.
