(Romans 8:35-39)

Sometimes I encounter a passage so powerful that it speaks for itself. Today is one of those days. Hear these words from the 8th chapter of Paul's letter to the church in Rome:

"Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, 'For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
(Romans 8:35-39)

What a gift. What a love. What a Savior!
AMEN.
