Today's readings are 1 Kings 18.20-40 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Kings+18.20-40 ) and Ephesians 2.1-22 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Eph.+2.1-22 ).
See how great our God is. He has revealed himself as the one who can work wonders despite our interference, who brings the dead to life, and brings an offering to himself but prevents people from making offerings to the other gods. Our God is great and mighty. See how he has brought us to himself by his good pleasure, according to his will, through Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection on our behalf. See how he has purchased us by his blood, by washing us, regenerating us, and creating faith in our hearts. And we are saved by grace through faith. None of it is our own work, none of it rests on our merit. It is all of God from start to finish.
Let us rejoice as we see Christ, who has broken down the wall of hostility between God and man, building us into a temple for the Holy Spirit.
