A Little R and R

Everybody loves a little ‘R and R.’ We all work very hard, and from time to time need rest and relaxation. A little ‘R and R’ is needed for our physical health.

A little ‘R and R’ is needed for our spiritual health, too. Paul explained to the Romans that we were “reconciled to God through the death of His Son…and not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation (Romans 5:10-11).”

We need to be reconciled because our sins have separated us from God (Isaiah 59:2). As Christians, we have reason to rejoice! After all, through the death of Christ we can be reconciled to God.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice (Philippians 4:4)!” Why? We are reconciled to God!
