The best of us make mistakes but none maybe so public as the one in this picture! Most mistakes can be corrected easily, an apology to someone we've hurt, throwing away a failed dish and starting again or paying a speading fine. However some mistakes are not so easy to cover up. Hatred is a hard one to disguise, so is murder, lying, stealing and adultery. Some have been successful for many years to cover their mistakes only to find eventually they got caught out.
The Bible teaches "All have fallen short of God's glory." Everyone of us has missed the mark at some time in our life. Praise God we have a loving creator who sent his Son to rescue us from our mistakes. Mistakes the Bible calls sin. Sin is the breaking of Gods Holy Law the Ten commandments. Some would saying calling sin 'a mistake' is undermining the seriousness of sin. Whichever way you look at it, if your sin eventually leads you to hell then that is a grave mistake indeed. Thankfully it is not Gods will "That any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
God sent His Son to die as a common criminal to take the punishment we all deserve, and rose on the third day proving God was satisfied with His Sons sacrifice for our sin. If we repent, change our minds about sin and judgement and trust in Jesus alone to save us, God will forgive us and grant us the gift of everlasting life. Moreover, regarding our mistakes God says, “I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their
wrongs.” (Hebrews 8:12) Taking all His promises into account surely the greatest mistake anyone could make is to reject the Salvation which is only available in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. Make no mistake, repent and trust in the Saviour Today!
