HEY! WE'RE ALL FAMILY HERE.

Ephesians 2: 11 - 22


It's Monday and I am ready to start my new job. I must admit that to being a little nervous as I haven't done this kind of work for quite some time, and I sorta feel kinda like that duck who's out of the water, or the guy without his paddle up in that there creek.
It's at times like this that I am so grateful that we all have open access to God and we can come before him for comfort 24, 7, 365.
That's one of the cool things about knowing Jesus. He has made us part of His family and it's like His Father has a store and He grants access to family members at all hours of the day and night, free of charge.

18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow-citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household,

Not only does He let us come to Him any time we want, ya know our new step brothers and sisters, well, because of the sacrifice made for us, Jesus has brought us together and removed all jealousy. We really are just one big happy family. The Brady bunch can't hold a candle to us.

14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

Ain't it cool?
Well, it's time for me to go to the store before I go to work. I need to get a new supply of comfort and peace.
Hey. Dad. Gotta minute?
