Jesus Is the Lamb of God (4 of 4)
Series: John

John 1:19-34
Introduction
As I've mentioned before, Aiden, my first-born, is five, and so we've been doing all the fun things with him to do with a 5-year-old, like learning to write letters and numbers, and all that stuff. He's such a boy, though. For one, he never takes his time when practicing, but just barrels ahead to get it done. Two, when he makes a mistake on a number or a letter, he refuses to erase it and just start over, but tries to somehow turn whatever concoction he just made into the letter or number he's trying to write. And I think you can imagine how that turns out ... poorly. And it's super frustrating to me because he and I will be at the kitchen table and I'm like, 'Dude! Just stop, erase what you've done and start over. It'll be so much easier if you do! For one it'll actually look better, but two it will take you less time to start over than trying to somehow make whatever you just wrote into something that resembles the number 3.'
Of course, he has yet to take my advice and has proceeded instead with doing his thing. Now in fairness to my boy, however, he gets this pretty honestly from his father. I have a terrible habit of trying to fix my mistakes rather than just start over. Whether it's a home repair, or painting, or my marriage, I have a hard time of just admitting that this is wrong and I need to just start over, which we all know is so idiotic, right? I mean just what I lecture Aiden about, the same is true for me. When you know something is wrong, the best and easiest thing to do really is just to scrap what you've done and start over.
I mean just think about it, if cost were no issue, would you rather fix your broken-down car or get a new one? Repair the leak in your roof, or just get a whole new one? Fix the compressor in your AC unit or just get a whole new unit? Patch the whole in your jeans or just get a new pair? I mean money is no object, you have ...
