God is a God of reconciliation. He came to resolve our differences – to create peace. When we leave differences unresolved, we leave potential for the deceiver to cause division among us. So, we are to keep short accounts – to be like God and seek to reconcile differences before the day ends.

When you hear the good news of Jesus Christ and respond to him by faith, not only are your sins washed away, but according to Acts 2:40, you are saved from this warped and perverse generation. Why? Because when you believe in Jesus, you don’t just get a ticket to heaven, you get Jesus. You get His life. And you get in on this whole new way of life He brings us. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!

God has a dream for us. God wants you to experience a community of grace: where everyone matters, where everyone serves with joy, grows in grace, and is lives a life of love.

God’s way is to choose simple, messed up, people who’ve been wounded and wasted by sin, bring us together by the love of Christ, and then through us dazzle the world with the amazing love of Christ. This is His plan. His way… and our potential!

That’s how God’s grace worked to change Paul, and how God wants to change us: To see life, not in light of our momentary sufferings… as painful and sometimes confusing and debilitating as they sometimes are… but to see life in light of our place in the story, in light of our union with Jesus, in light of God’s plan for eternity!

Jesus connects us with one another. He is the craftsman who masterfully fits us into what He is building. What this tells me is that Jesus has a purpose in His Church for every person here. There are no misfits in His family! Every misfit actually does fit in with Jesus!

Jesus is our peace. There is now nothing separating us from God. He removed every barrier. He took away our sin and shame. Jesus brought us home.

In making us His masterpieces of grace God has recreated us to be a people who live like Jesus – and Jesus was what? He was full of grace and truth. This then is the goal for being a gospel formed people: our new way of life is a life that will be characterized by works of grace.

We were saved from death, from deception and from destruction, by God!
