Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb

It's simple, really. "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace..." (Ephesians 1:7).

This simple truth is the cornerstone of our faith. In Jesus Christ we find our purpose and our hope for a life beyond this world.

Through his blood the race is won. Sometimes, we just need to refocus on the prize and take another look at our game plan. If it's not all about the Lamb of God, we are missing the most important part.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.  (Hebrews 12:1-2)
