"You have been saved by grace through faith," Ephesians 2:8.
Saved? Saved from what? (Well - for crying out loud! Open eyes! Look around! Get woke! It's all broke! Saved from the mess we're all in! From disintegration. Rot. Broken friendships. Broken selves. Broken climate. Broken hearts. Broken humanity. Broken bodies. Broken minds. Broken society. Broken kids. Broken parents. Broken culture. Broken nirvana. Broken paradise. Broken earth and broken sky.) Saved from the rage/wrath/anger that surrounds us all. Saved from lies and deceit. Saved from death's final word. Saved from the grave. As a gift from God. For people who trust God. A new life. A new earth and sky. Reintegrated. Made whole. Together. With Christ. As a gift. His present for his kids.
We visit today with a brother or sister in faith. In faith we praise God through Christ for his promise of immeasurably enriched life.
