God The Bounty Hunter

A few months ago I admitted to my mother that I had a new favourite show "Dog the Bounty Hunter". I love that she admitted it was her new favourite show as well (sometimes we are freakishly alike).
The Dog is in the bailbond business, he bails people out of jail and when they fail to appear in court, he hunts them down. He is swift and harsh while he arrests them. Then he puts them in the back of his car and gives them a smoke or a sandwich, let's them call their families and tells them how God changed his life, and that there is always hope, there is always a chance to change things around.
It's Easter, and I was thinking about how Jesus put up our bond when he died on the cross, though we definetly did not deserve it. Many of us have skipped out on him, turned our backs him and denied him. Like Jill said last Sunday, God always comes to seek you out. He will find you. Sometimes he is swift and harsh, but we sure get the point. He then gives mercy and grace freely. We know there is always a second chance - it's never to late.
