Cover - Lent Photo Challenge

Cover…

This winter has been one of those winters.  We have had more snow than typical and unusually cold temps.  In fact, some areas of the country have had those bone chilling cold temps, the temps that cause the freeze to go deep into the ground.  When that happens, there are typically a number of concerns to be aware of.  For instance, the underground water pipes have a possibility of freezing as well as bursting.  Not a problem one wants to deal with in the bone chilling temps.  There is also the possibility crops will be lost as the plants cannot withstand the extreme temperatures.  Yet, if the ground has a solid cover of snow the bone chilling temps do not cause the freeze to go as deep into the ground.  The snow cover protects the ground from the elements.

We too will die without a protective cover.  Without the forgiveness and love covering us through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will die.  It is through Him and only Him that we have the ability to live eternally.  “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered” Psalm 32:1.  It is humbling to know that we are covered; covered with a protection from the grips of evil.  Jesus won the victory over evil through His death and resurrection.  Jesus paid the price for our sins through His death and resurrection.  We are covered!
