Two sides of a coin


I've just been out for a wee walk before the sun goes down. I've been preparing materials for lectures in Moscow, next week. I'm teaching on 'The understanding of salvation'. Thinking about it.

For some people, it's so simple. They see the one side of a coin. The glorious truth of Father's love and mercy, and the full and effective atoning death of Jesus Christ, in bringing us back to God.

And for others, a quite different message. The other side of the coin. The call to turn back to a life worth living and a path worth pursuing. To invest our feeble lives in something worth expending ourselves for.
Blessed is the person who can see that every coin has two sides.
