While we were still weak, godless, sinners – enemies of God – God, in His mercy and grace, bought us out of our sin with the life of His Son. The chasm between God’s perfect Kingdom that we were created to live in, and our sin-filled, broken world, was bridged by the cross of Jesus. The great exchange that Jesus brought to us on the cross gives us the ability to live with the power and purpose God created for us to have, both now, in the midst of the brokenness around us, and for all eternity, in His eternal Kingdom.
