Taking a butter knife to a steak does not do the job, for if you’re cutting into a freshly barbecued piece of meat it would be highly annoying if you decided to use a butter knife. You were all ready to enjoy that steak, and you assumed you would get a tool that could do the job properly, but then find yourself disappointed when you learn it cannot.
We have hope that all these annoyances in life will pass; how sweet it will it be if you’ve given yourself to Jesus Christ making it easy to live this topsy turvy life. Like taking the incorrect knife over to cut your steak, even though it may be the most petite mistake you’ve made, this is simply the prelude to peace in Heaven. No matter what mistakes we’ve make, we know we have the promise that the list of our mistakes will be wiped clean. As it says in 1 Corinthians 15:42 “So also is the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.” Living in this life as the verse says we are born into corruption, yet after we deal with our mishaps, then (if we’ve given ourselves to Christ) we will launch into a space of incorruption.
