United With Christ

One of the most remarkable mysteries of the Christian faith is that what Christ experienced in history during his life, death, and resurrection, we too experience and benefit from through our union with him. 

In his days on earth, he lived a perfect, sinless life of righteousness before his Father. Through our union with him, our lives are also counted as righteous before God (despite all the ways we fall short). On the cross, Christ died for our sins, paying the debt we owed. Through our union with him, we too were crucified with Christ, dying to sin, self, and the world. Christ was raised from the grave on the third day; in him, we too experience resurrection life, spiritually now and physically when he returns. 

So as we celebrate Holy Week, we are not only looking back on something Christ has accomplished in the past; that past is our present and future through our union with him. Through faith in him, we share in his life, death, and resurrection now and to eternity. 

So join us this Holy Week as we reflect on and celebrate the glory and grace of being united with Christ.
