Ephesians 2:19-20
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
Reflection
The entire message of the Bible is based on the fact that God does not want to be separated from us and that he wants us to be a part of his family. God wants a relationship with us. That relationship is offered by God through his Son, Jesus Christ. We are no longer outcasts because of our sin. How has all of this happened? The foundation of this great miracle is the message of God’s grace that came through the apostles and prophets. However, the cornerstone of this message of forgiveness, love and grace is Jesus. Without Jesus, his life, death and resurrection we would still be on the outside yearning to get close to God. The great chasm of our sin between us and God has been effectively bridged through the saving acts of Jesus Christ.
Today you are invited to praise God for the mercy he has made known through Jesus Christ.
