Recently I noticed the advertisement of a large computer company:

 Both might be correct in terms of technology, but our life is different.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (English Standard Version):

“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.”

There is nothing new, not even an unexciting news. All things already happened just as the current fashion trend was trendy a few years ago. And we probably realised by now that even perfection leaves much to be desired. If we want to be perfect we are doomed to fail. There will always be some detail lacking. Some flaw remains – maybe pride of our supposed perfection. I am glad that God sees things differently.

Hebrews 10:14 (English Standard Version):

“For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.”

In Jesus we have been made perfect. We are not perfect by ourselves, but we have been made perfect. What a liberating message!
