Show Notes

As I volunteer at the soup kitchen, I examine their dirty hands. When they each extend their bowls, I wonder, Am I better than those I am serving? No. A voice resonates through my head. “You are both broken. You both need grace. You both are the reason I sacrificed Myself.” Of course. Just because I was born somewhere, Or look some way, Or feel some how, Makes me no better Than the one looking back at me, Asking for a bowl of soup. Naomi Zylstra Reread today’s Scripture passage. How are we all desperately in need? Read Ephesians 2:8-10. Why is it important that our efforts can’t save us from sin and death? How can we be saved from sin and death? (Learn more on our “Know Jesus” page). How do these truths affect the way we view each other? For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28 (NLT)
