The cross of Christ upends the world’s wisdom, revealing a radical grace that cannot be earned and must be proclaimed.

Jesus blesses the weary and wounded, revealing that it is in places of weakness where God’s kingdom draws near.

Christ calls us to reject personal allegiances and to anchor our lives in him alone, where truth, goodness, and saving power are found.

Jesus invites us to come and see, and empowers us – like Andrew – to extend that invitation to others with humility, trust, and joy.

Jesus enters into our brokenness not to be distant or above it, but to turn toward us in love. He meets us where we are, takes us by the hand, and walks us back to God.

Before we could ever earn it, prove it, or ruin it, God chose us in love – and invites us to live in the deep freedom and joy of already belonging.
