It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8, NIV

With his own pierced hands, Jesus created a pasture for the soul. He tore out the thorny underbrush of condemnation. He pried loose the huge boulders of sin. In their place he planted seeds of grace and dug ponds of mercy.

And he invites us to rest there. Can you imagine the satisfaction in the heart of the shepherd when, with work completed, he sees his sheep rest in the tender grass?

Let us journey on... in His resting place...
