So Monday's theme was our baptism and Jesus' saving grace. We had a renewal of baptism promises (which for me are actually confirmation promises as no promises were made at my Baptism and no questions were asked of me.) I always like this--it feels so communal to have a large group of people answering together "We do believe" :)
Thoughts from Monday:
There is no sin so great that Jesus' blood doesn't cover it completely.
While yes--just being Baptized doesn't mean automatic entry to Heaven, it is the starting point in our journey. We all have starting points--some earlier, some later, and some at the last minute. But we all must start somewhere.
Life is a journey--we think about travel when we go on vacation and don't want to miss a thing. We need to think of life in the same way--a journey that we shouldn't be missing out on. Living in the past and worrying about things we have done wrong or living in the future and thinking only of those things to come means we forget to live in the now. And Now is when we can be present with God. We can't be present with God in the past or future--while he is there, we are not. But the now is where we can meet him.
