It was a total accident.
Owen was accidentally burned. Not by me, but it could have been a mistake that even I could have made. It broke my heart to see his skin bubble up in first and second degree burns. The doctor comforted him, and us. Owen was fine. But there was still a mark. I had to put ointment on it at each diaper change. My heart broke every time I saw it. It was a mark on his sweet perfect skin that was there because of someone elses mistake. Someone elses accident. Someone elses sin.
Then one night, I sat rocking him sweetly before bedtime. I was thinking about his scar from his burn. This scar was there and it was totally not his fault.
This reminded me of our Heavenly Father...
God sent his Son to earth knowing that he would receive scars. He would get these scars on purpose. Jesus could have denied his calling and gone free of scar, but Jesus had a divine role to play! God knew what His Son would have to do to save the world. It must have been so difficult to send his Son to earth to bare these scars. You see, Jesus was not at fault, he was innocent. Jesus got his scars because of someone elses mistakes, someone elses accidents, someone elses sin.
I praise my God for loving his people so much that He made a way for us to be SAVED! I praise Jesus for baring scars from the cross because of everyone elses sin. What a mighty God we serve!
So, my son has a scar, it was not his fault. But we all learned something from it.
