ULC AnnArborFriends, his invitation is simple. He's saying stop trying to rely on yourself. Stop taking out your ruler at every opportunity trying to measure what you've done and measure what you've achieved. Stop relying on yourself and instead rely on Jesus. Rely on the one who was perfect, but who still took on the curse of the ruler, and he bore it in himself so that you and I could, from this Jesus, receive everything that he has as a gift, that we could receive eternal life, forgiveness, righteousness, perfection, the gift of the spirit. We all receive it from his hands graciously as a gift. Jesus hangs on the cross, and he spreads out his arms. He says, it's all yours. By faith, you can have it.
