Message [Brett]: Faith-filled living consists in offering our lives back to God again and again, asking Him to help us live gracefully (full of grace) within the boundaries of our earthly lives and asking Him to expand those boundaries, so that we may experience His kingdom, even now. Jesus Himself took on the sins of all humanity, so that we need not invest our energies in seeking revenge for what others have done to us and so that we need not invest our energies in trying to atone for sins we have committed. God enables us to stand on the borders of earthly life, gazing into and embracing the joy and power that reside outside of our earthly boundaries. Christ’s Good Friday sacrifice and Easter rising from the dead give us hope and call us beyond who we were yesterday and who we are today. And God gives us brothers and sisters with whom to BE His kingdom and dwelling place here on earth.
