Francis Chan in his book, “Letters to the Church”, reminds us, “There is no greater honor on earth than to be part of God’s Church”.
We have been “called out” of our old life of sin to a new life of forgiveness and freedom (2 Corinthians 5:!7). We have been made one by the work of Jesus on the cross and therefore come together to love, worship, obey, and serve Him — the One Who has rescued us. We proclaim the one name, Jesus Christ, and the one message that can truly change a person’s life (1 Corinthians 15:1-11).
Jesus said, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). His work is being done here, in and through us, as His body (1 Corinthians 12:27) and as His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). May God continue to build His church as, together, we hold out hope to those who need it.
