Life without Christ centered in the middle is the feeling of a child losing his favorite baseball in the backyard of his home.
He goes around days and days looking for it but on the day he finds it he finds it in the garden.
By the time he finds it he realizes that it has been hiding underneath the surface of soil. He then picks it up and begins to pry at the dried mud caked upon it and it begins to resemble the baseball he had before. Except that it is now stained with the dirt and knowingness of the mud it had on it before. A lot like a child being thrown in the world and growing older to wonder why experiences were not the same again. Jesus is the cleansing agent. He bore our sins so we would only have the stain of dirt on us and not be held captive by our sins- Or enveloped in them. We begin to depart of our sin, and shed that experience with others. Knowing that we are not perfect and completely sinless, we work in the doctrine of grace and salvation Jesus sacrificed for us; cleansing our perception to the childlike euphoria we all have begun to miss.
