VeggieTales episodes always end with the “What have we learned?” song. It doesn’t really matter if you’ve heard a wonderful story, a beautiful Psalm, or read the entire Bible in one year if you don’t have anything to take home with you.
So.
What have we learned?
God loves us immensely. He is Holy, oh so holy, and because of His holiness and His great love for us, He demands that we are holy too. He promises joy and abundance to those who will follow and obey. It seems like the logical choice! But we can’t do this, because we are fallen (thanks a lot, Eve!), the covenant is broken, and there must be a sacrifice. However, it is the sacrifice of Jesus who makes us holy, not the sacrifices of bulls and goats. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost--we have the job of sharing this story. How? By living out the love that He has for us. Why? Because He first loved us. With a holy, demanding love.
Is it easy? Of course not. If it was, everyone would do it. And it wouldn’t be a sacrifice. So we wake up every morning and choose. The wide gate or the narrow? The crooked path or the straight? The right or the easy?
Whatever you choose, may the grace and peace of God our Father and Jesus Christ His son be with you, both now and always!
