Who doesn’t love a good scandal?

​
Picture this: A king seduces and sleeps with his best soldier’s wife. Before she starts to show, the king has her husband murdered. This. Is. Savage. This. Is. Scandalous. This. Is. Life.

But out of our scandals, mess-ups, and mistakes in life, rises something even more scandalous—the cross of Jesus Christ. His love transcends our worst and restores us to peace with God when we ask, “Create in me a clean heart” (Psalm 51:10).
