“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13 (ESV)
Just a week has passed since we were thinking especially of the death of Jesus on the cross. It is a theme that carries throughout the New Testament and we are reminded often of the importance of that event and sacrificial act by Jesus. We know that Jesus came and He died because God loved us and because He wanted us to be drawn close to Him. When we accept what Jesus did for us on the cross we are brought into the family of God. The experience of being brought near to God begins when we believe in Jesus but it continues on through our lives. We can experience the blessing of nearness to God every day. When we sense that nearness today lets thank God again for what Jesus had done and is doing and let us thank Him for making the way possible for us to become members of God's eternal family.
