It sure feels good to have relationships restored.  It is so painful when we are “on the outs” with people we love.  I knew of a guy who said he fought with his wife just because he enjoyed making up so much!  I don’t recommend the fighting part.  You’ve probably heard the famous line from Augustine, “Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.”  I think a lot of people go through life seeking satisfaction in relationships, success, material wealth, status and accomplishment yet still don’t feel satisfied.  As someone else quipped, “They have reached the top of the ladder and found it was resting on the wrong building.”  Augustine was right, we’re searching, with restless hearts, for home.  For rest.  Someone else has said, “We have a God-shaped vacuum in us that is too big for anyone but God to fill.”  The restless pursuits of many in our culture are rooted in this.  It’s not a theology we’re after and it’s not having answers to all our questions.  We need the principal relationship restored.  We need to be right with the One for whom we were made.  We need to be at home in Him.  Jesus Christ made this restoration possible through His death, burial and resurrection.  Our union with Him puts us IN the Trinity.  Imagine that!  It may not always feel that way right now but that is where we are in Christ.  We have been reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.  Come to the Table on Sunday and thank Him for restoring the paradise that was lost.
