In the Aftermath

I went to a Hillsong United concert with my sister in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Friday. I was completely blown away by this song. The singers gave a really beautiful devo about how we don't have to live in the aftermath of all the terrible stuff in our lives, or even in the aftermath of our own sinful choices and actions, but that we are found in the aftermath of Christ's action on the cross. Namely that we are completely covered for all the debt of purity that this life stains us with. And we are completely covered for all the debt of purity that our own stupid shortcomings bring us to. Instead our debt has been wiped away and we simply stand. Empty, but having everything... in the aftermath of the cross. That is the best kind of devastation ever. The kind that lands you at the feet of the Savior again.
