Whatever the Cost?

We remember Paul and Peter who became big names for the first Christians and all Christians since those first heady days of the Jesus movement in the world. 

We live in a righteousness that does not come from achieving, performing, being good or bad, but comes as gift from Jesus' achieving, performing being holy and true- enough for us all. 

Any lasting peace, unity, confidence and conviction to speak and do his love by faith comes from his love for me, not my love for me or anyone else’s. 

 Hear his love for you that gives you courage to stay the course in whatever you are facing today:

 I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. ….18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.

 There is life that has been won and one day it will be a complete win. Jesus is that complete life, now and then. 

 And so, we share the Call of Peter and Paul. For Paul it was this:

 15 ….. God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles (Galatians 1:15)

 Friends, safe passage in the love of Jesus is assured, no matter what.
