We have heard the world crying in its pain. It is redemption, reaching as far as sin has gone, to restore all that sin has damaged. In human relationships that have suffered breakdown, salvation is the model for making a new beginning. Sit in any divorce lawyer's office or city council chambers where racial leaders meet to argue over offenses. In any badly stressed relationship it is impossible to untangle words and establish objective truth.
Few relationships can stand the strain of such a process.
In our human attempts at peace, we lose each other. He first provides reconciliation through the cross by the working of His powerful grace. He reconciles us to Himself as persons. In Himself, He heals the relationship. When Adam sinned and hid himself in the garden, God knew there was a problem as He went walking there in the cool of the evening.
