Perfect For Each Other

He saw her standing there, perfectly posed in the knee-deep meadow. Her luscious, rosy red, perfectly formed lips beckoned him. Her honey-colored, long hair framed her perfectly-shaped face and beautiful blue eyes.

Gliding toward her, quickly yet stiffly, his arms pumped in perfect “pump” form. He could hardly wait to pull her into his tanned, strong, he-man arms and meld his lips with hers, sure they’d be a perfect fit. His brown, wavy hair – not too curly or too straight – remained perfectly styled as he flew toward her.

Her dress, oh, her dress – flimsy, flowing, flowery fabric – revealed every perfect curve of her body as it rippled with the breeze. His own body – muscular, lean, and perfectly packed into his denim jeans and short-sleeved t-shirt – was a perfect match for hers.

Finally, the moment arrived where their hands, then arms, then bodies met in a stiff but perfectly timed embrace. He brought his mouth to hers, and held it there for what seemed like an eternity, relishing the most perfect moment of his life.

“Honey, lunch time!”

Today, on Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate Jesus, the only perfect One, whose…

…law is perfect (Psalm 19:7)

…way is perfect (2 Samuel 22:31)

…works are perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4)

…gifts are good and perfect (James 1:17)

…power is made perfect in (our) weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9)

…perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18)

“For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” (Hebrews 10:14 NIV)

That’s you.

That’s me.

That’s anyone who will “declare with their mouth that “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead.” (Romans 10:9)

If you’re tired of looking for perfection in all the wrong places, come to Jesus. He died for you so your sins could be forgiven, was resurrected so you could share in His life, and is waiting for you with open arms.

You and Jesus – you’re perfect for each other.
