"Jesus himself warned his own generation that what they did in secret will be made manifest. All skeletons in all closets will be revealed. That is why we need to be covered. That is what redemption is all about - a divine cover-up. The last thing we would want to do is appear before God like Adam and Eve after they sinned, naked and uncovered." - RC Sproul*
They were naked and unashamed...a choice made...an entire human race fallen...
Now naked and uncovered. Exposed before a holy God who knows the secrets and intentions of the heart.
He makes the hidden things known.
He makes manifest those things that are living in darkness.
He Himself is the Light of the world.
And He knows your secrets...mine.
There is no hiding from the One whose eyes roam to and fro throughout the whole earth.
Still harder we try to cover up our secrets to save our shame from being made known.
But it's already known. There is no hiding.
Yet there exists a Divine Cover-up. A plan so beautiful it spreads a rainbow of light into the darkness and invites you to step out.
Into safety.
Into forgiveness.
Into redemption.
