I was in Mineola visiting with Marc about a book we are working on together. And he was showing me his computer. And he was putting something on the screen and he made a mistake and he pushed a button and it erased all of it. And he said to me, “That’s the undo button.” And I looked over and sure enough right there on the button was “undo.” And he said to me, “Wouldn’t it be great if we had an undo button in life?” And I thought of all the people who through the years who have said to me, “I wish I had my life to live over again. I wish I hadn’t have said that. I wish I hadn’t have done that. I wish I could change that.”
I thought of all the people who have said to me in essence, “I wish there was some undo button that I could push and wash away all the mistakes in my life.”
There is no undo button. But let me tell you there is an undo person—Jesus. And the scripture says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.” And if we have faith enough to believe and courage enough to ask we can come to Jesus just like blind Bartimaeus did and we can say, “Lord, have mercy upon me. I have messed up in life.” And the Lord Jesus pushes the undo button. Thank God you can have the mistakes erased. Life can begin again. Cleansing is available. But the prerequisite is faith to believe and courage to ask.
