Brought Near

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been

brought near by the blood of Christ.”

Ephesians 2:13

You and I were once far away from God.

We were alienated from Him by our sin.

But God...

He brought us near through the blood of His sinless Son Jesus.

He made the way that we could not.

We were dead in our trespasses and sin.

Through the work of the cross we were brought out of darkness, sin and death.  

We were not only made alive through Jesus Christ we are now seated with Him in heavenly places.

But, you say, I know these simple truths!

Good – it is a good thing to remind ourselves of the price that was paid.

We must not over complicate the simple yet profound and wonderful message of the Gospel.

May we never tire of it and may we ever express our gratitude that you and I who were once far away have been brought near.
