For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
We see the Gospel as something that is good for the
community. We do not see the Gospel as life-changing,
value-enhancing, joy-inspiring.
You are not yourself. There is something more. A new
glorified self--free from imperfection, free from ugliness, free
from sin--a new nature that only Christ can give. And it is
available to you and to me.
(Hebrews 10.14
NRSV)
An Hispanic man who speaks little English walked into a
pharmacy in Brooklyn seeking to cash his lottery ticket for $24.
When the clerk checked it, the discovery was made that the man's
ticket was worth 1.6 million dollars. When the clerk tried to
explain that to the Hispanic man, the man got very upset and
stalked angrily out of the store. Some people pursued him and
finally communicated to him what had happened. He was one of
three persons who would split 4.8 million. The man had a ticket
worth $79,000 each year for the next 20 years, but he almost did
not understand. Many of us are in the same boat.
Dear God, thank you for perfecting me in Jesus Christ and drawing me close to your love.
Amen.
