No Record

     I came across this story again, I remember using its illustration in a sermon of mine several years ago however, it brought to mind an interesting thought once again.  The story tells of a new owner of a Rolls Royce whose car broke down in a remote area of France.  He called the Rolls Royce dealership.  They flew a repairman in to fix his car.  The next day it was running again and he was on his way.  Months later, since he had never received a bill, he wrote to the company thanking them for being so responsive to his problems when his car broke down in France.  Rolls Royce wrote back, “We have no record of any Rolls Royce ever having mechanical problems.”  They had no record of anything ever being wrong with one of their cars.  I love that.  Not just because they have an objective of giving the appearance of perfection or stabiltiy, but because they don’t want for anyone to ever say anything unsavory about their product.   

     When God forgives you, He comes and restores that which is wrong.  His love keeps no record of wrongs.  The blood of Jesus Christ washes ALL sin away.  No record.  The Psalmist said it best, As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us, Psalm 103:12God forgives us not because we are perfect, but because He does not want for anyone to ever say anything unsavory about His prize possession (You and Me).
