In the Son

In the church, we often divide via our performances. We live in spite of one another because our lives are defined by trying to “justify ourselves” in the eyes of God and others. Self-protective fears of not being enough lead us to compete. Instead, we are called to re-unite in Christ’s sacrifice. Not by our our works but by his grace. To remember that we have a loving Savior in Heaven that we can trust. That we can unite with others under his mercy, salvation, and kindness. Being restored to our immeasurable worth in Christ (Philippians 3:1-3 ). Becoming defined by our shared identity in the Savior more than the performative ways we try to win, as if there isn’t enough of Jesus’s love to go around.
