A relationship restored

Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” To have a relationship with our perfect God you and I must be perfect.  A major problem is: You and I are not perfect.  So we cannot help but ask—what do we do?  Are you and I lost?  On our own the answer is an obvious yes.  But, Jesus, our perfection entered the picture.  He is our advocate, our perfection.  Jesus is the reconciliation between God and man–you and me.  As Christians we somewhat treat this reconciliation as not that big a deal.  But, that reconciliation is actually the biggest deal known to man.  We are saved because of our Savior.  That is the greatest blessing you and I will ever receive!
