"To the congregations," Galatians 1:2.

Really, it's an amazing thing. God's deal. I mean what God has done, and continues to do. So, here is the story of Jesus. Of his life, death, burial, and resurrection. Of his sky ascent, of his glorification beside God. Of the plan for his appearing once again to bring his own home. Now here's the amazing thing: God has entrusted this message to his people. The church. The congregation. Get it? Not to you alone in nature, not to me reveling in my own solitude. Remember the bumper sticker: Jesus, yes; Church, no? Well, that's not Bible. Not God's deal. God's deal is -- well, read all about it. Usually early in most NT letters. His congregation: the body of Christ. The message of Jesus lives among the diverse people making up his one body.

Mutually recognizing a brother or sister in Jesus today we see Christ at work. His congregation. His church. His assembly. And, together, we give thanks that he has given us all each other. Sky kingdom.
