What is your favorite invention of all time? So many cool things could be on the list–electricity, air conditioning, automobiles, computers, wireless technology, etc., etc. (Way too many to list!) Perhaps the greatest invention of all time is the common keyboard combination, Ctrl+Z. Make a mistake on the computer and just press Ctrl+Z, and it will undo your mistake like it was never there, and even the one before and the one before, etc. Genius! Where was this 30 years ago?
But, the inventors actually copied it from a much more sophisticated and superior system. Christians have long known that when they make a mistake (i.e., sin against God), all that they have to do is repent and pray for God to forgive them, and God will remove the sin like it was never there (and even the one before and the one before, etc.). Perfection!
It sure would be nice to have Ctrl+Z for other mistakes in life (car accidents, spills, etc.), but how thrilling to know that God will take us all the way back to a clean, sinless page! Forgiven!
