Day 2: The Veil was Torn in Two

God forsakes His Son for the sake of His Beloved. All of earth quaked at the death of God’s only Son who took on the sin of the world.

“… It is finished.”

The curtain—symbolizing all that separated us from God—was torn in two. Straight from the hand of God—top to bottom.

The most violent act of God was also His most intimate one.

Divine Love clears my record, remembers my sin no more, and reaches down and touches me. The King of glory makes Himself known to His people and removes the veil.

Because of this, nothing separates me from the love of God.


Nothing.

Day 1: The Power of Relationships

Lately, I’ve been learning that the key to community impact is through relationship. This is where the kingdom happens. Relationships that cross ethnic, socio-economic, cultural lines – make you think twice about your life and the norms that may not be true for your neighbor.

Today, as I sat on a Human Trafficking Taskforce with Kingdom Causes and various leaders in the city, I learned about the importance of relationships to victims. Social isolation is their greatest enemy. Yet, consistent and trusting relationships have the greatest power to bring healing.

What happens when loving your neighbor means calling them friend?
