My wife babysits our grandchildren and this past
Friday as she was getting four year old Grace ready to go to pre-K I gave Grace
a hug. It was then I realized that
because I hadn’t shaved (my day off) I might have been a bit rough when my
cheek pressed against her, and so I apologized for being rough. Grace said; “that’s ok we won’t give up on
you because you’re family”.
Now isn’t that the essence of the good news of
the gospel of Jesus Christ? God won’t
give up on us; God won’t give up on humanity, because we’re family. In the apostle Paul’s letter to the church at
Ephesus he writes that there is one God and one Father of us all.
