On October 14th, 1947 a high flying plane flew faster than 758 miles per hour and created a resounding sonic boom. Headlines announced, the sound barrier had been broken. Of course it is now broken regularly. But it caused great excitement when it happened in 1947. Because of the limited technology of that day, it had been largely believed that the sound barrier would never be broken. But with technological advances the sound barrier was broken. And it reminds one of another barrier which many believe could never be broken- the sin barrier. Since we are all sinners by nature and by choice, “all have sinned” nobody can keep the ten commandments, and since God is holy just and righteous, it is reasoned, “how could lost fellowship ever be restored?” The answer is Calvary. Where “Christ died for our sins.” When He did, He broke the sin barrier. The Bible says, “He became the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.”
