The door is wide open… Through our Savior Jesus Christ, the Father invites us into His family with an unending supply of Grace. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus encourages us, as Children of God, to live ready for His return. He also supplies all we need to be ready… forgiveness, hope, love in Word and Sacrament. Receive, and be ready.

The world is broken. We see it everyday… wars and rumors of wars. Here in the United States it seems that the Christian Church is getting smaller and that our God may be losing. But, He is working in this for the good of His Kingdom and His Church. God does not cause the evil of this world but He will use it to extend His Kingdom… to bring Grace to more and more. Our God, in Jesus, has done and will do whatever it takes to bring His love to us. Are we ready, as His redeemed children, to do whatever it takes to bring His love to others?

Because of God’s love and mercy given to us through the cross and empty tomb of Christ, we are Children of God. The means we the Church, are the family of God. We are not meant to do this life alone though the enemy works hard to convince us of just that. We need each other in our good times and our bad. This is a together-journey!

In Philippians 1, Paul, while in prison and facing possible execution, makes an incredible confession: “For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” As Children of God, we are invited to live and exciting life… yes, one that will be filled with trouble, but one following the One who has defeated death and the grave. Let’s live for Christ, knowing that death is gain!
