My Crazy Family

From Hebrews 2:11 - "Since the One who saves and those who are saved have a common origin, Jesus doesn't hesitate to treat them as family" (The Message, Emphasis Mine)

More from my daily Bible reading... Isn't it a trip to think that God packed himself into a human package?

More crazy than that is to think that Jesus treats us as family. I don't know about you, but in my family everyone is crazy. I wonder if Jesus feels the same way.

I mean He would be the "head of household" for this big family of faith we have. So we have to wonder what he thinks about his children sometimes. You know that he loves us no matter what, but at the same time I know that, like any parent, He would just like us to listen to what He's telling us to do.

Much Love!

Day of Rest

"When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy." Titus 3:4-5 (NLT, Emphasis Mine)

I am enjoying my one and a half hours off, on the normal day of rest. Sunday is not a sabbath for those in ministry! That's why I have Monday's off!

It's great then that I can look at this verse and know, just like it says in the book of Hebrews, that I at least have a rest from having to try to be right with God.

Thanks to Jesus, I just am. No work to be done.

Enjoy your Sunday!
