Ephesians 2:1-5 in the "Message" by Eugene Peterson reads:
"It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ."
How incredible of God, to lift us from our old sin-dead lives and make us alive "in Christ," and then to bring us together as a team to share His love in Canada.
