Ephesians 2: 4,5- “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
My sixth grade teacher wrote a “Thought for the Day” on the chalkboard every morning. I loved reading them and started a notebook of “sayings/quotes.”
It became a habit of mine to copy them down each day, so no small wonder that I have continued to do that as I see things in print. I always write down the source of the quote, knowing I might need to give credit to someone for their thoughts one day.
However, next to the one I’d like to share with you, I wrote only Sam. To my embarrassment, there is no last name. (So, Sam, whoever you are. My apologies. And, my thanks for these thoughts).
Sam told a story about a man who had achieved acclaim in a certain area. He was asked to give a speech to his colleagues.
A friend remarked that the turnout that evening had been overwhelming because this man was special to so many people.
“No,” the man answered. “It’s not because I am special that they are here. It’s because they are special that I am here.”
I drew the parallel right away.
Long before anyone reading this blog was born, Almighty God, in the person of Jesus, came to earth to save each of us (by the shedding of His blood) from the consequences of our sin and offer us eternal life.
Why?
He came because we are special to Him.
