When everyone is going the same direction, it\u2019s easiest to just \u201cgo with the flow.\u201d But Jesus came to pioneer a path that runs opposite of worldly currents. His life and death for us did not conform to the pattern set by the world but established a new, transformative pattern instead. This week we examine the collision between the worldly current of behaving and Jesus\u2019 pattern of believing. Apart from Christianity, every religion in the world is built on the assumption that human beings must act in such a way so as to win God\u2019s favor and earn eternal life. The good news that Jesus brought down from heaven, however, is that we are saved by grace and through faith. Simply by looking to and trusting in what Jesus has done for us God\u2019s gifts of forgiveness and life are ours.
