Grace also might reign.

Romans 5:20-21, Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The trespass came through one man; the wages of sin is death. And immediately we see God’s amazing grace, not wishing any to perish, but all to come to know him fully. He loved the world so much that he sent us his son, who has brought his good news to us through the cross, despising it shame. And in him we are lead forth in a triumphal procession as we allow turn to him to receive his cleansing touch, to be sanctified and made whole, to bring glory to his name!

We thank you for your great mercy towards us through the cross of Jesus Christ; guide our steps as we seek to walk in your light today!
