Every so often what we need to do is we need to stop. And we need to realize. And we need to take a deep breath. Because we need to see that this is it.
What we are going to dig into this Sunday in Ephesians 2:1-10 is a word of God that has been parsed and preached and analyzed and analogized, poeticized, and prayed over. This is it. This is the heart of the Gospel. This is the centrality of Christ. The epicenter of grace. This is law, this is gospel. This is anthropology, this is theology, this is soteriology, all these high concept words trying to teach us what we have on our hands in this text. This is it.
I’ve only got one goal for this sermon. My goal is to amplify the grace of God in your heart. Today, my challenge to you is to open your heart to this text- take it deeply into your heart and let your love for God and his grace grow. This is it. This is the heart of everything that Jesus died to give you.
