Wrong way...

A few weeks ago, I was driving downtown Kansas City, heading back to the church office and I noticed a car coming towards me while I was stopped at a light…nicely obeying all traffic laws 😊.

I watched a car turn onto the street a few blocks away and something didn’t seem quite right.

Then the driver of the car flashed his (in the end, I never saw the driver, but my guess is a guy…we pay less attention to details and we always think we are right…and yes I’m scoring points for this statement….ok I’m done 😊) lights as if to warn me I was on the wrong side of the road.

I hurriedly strained against my seat belt (yes of course) to look for a sign or a stoplight to confirm that I was right. I noticed quickly the light was facing me and deduced I was facing the correct direction. Then I also noticed I was on a ONE WAY….and the approaching driver was WRONG!
He must have been making some quick observations on his end, because as he approached the next intersection, he turned and the drama was over.

I didn’t necessarily love that “he” was wrong, but I did feel pretty good….(yeah, I loved it) that I was right.

I am reminded that as humans, our initial instinct is that we are right…but, what if we are wrong?

When it comes to the most important matters of life, there is a solution for being wrong.

His name is Jesus.

In fact, we are going to discover that Jesus is our judge to reveal when we are wrong…however, Jesus is also our righteousness. When we place our faith in Jesus, He covers our wrongness with His rightness.

This Sunday, I look forward to continuing our series through Matthew describing our Messiah with a sermon entitled, “A Judging Messiah” from Matthew 24-25 and several other Scriptures scattered in 😊.

There is so much more for us to learn together. I look forward to seeing you at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am (Full KidCity available), or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.

I hope you have a great evening,
Troy
