Except Through

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.”

Psalm 139:13

“I found out I was 27% Native American.”

So goes a line in a familiar TV commercial for a DNA analysis product that is supposed to reveal your ancestral heritage.

While DNA might reveal much about you, your health, ancestry, ethnicity, etc... it cannot reveal your character.

Proverbs 27:22 says this:

“Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him.”

While a fool and his money may be soon parted, as the old saying goes, not so a fool and his folly!

It is ingrained in him and cannot be removed except through the transforming grace of God available to both fool and wise men through Jesus Christ.

While DNA may be reveal, it cannot transform.

The cross will do that and more when you avail yourself of the work accomplished there.

Something to think about this Easter season.
