No Bouncers

Thursday July 26th, Colossians 1: 26-29 This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it's out in the open. God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. It's that simple. That is the substance of our Message. Some have said that the gift of Jesus was to make us all honorary Jews, Children of the Promise. Contrary to Pope Benedict, Jesus did not make the Catholic church the bouncer of heaven. What Jesus did was to let the world know there was no bouncer in heaven. No bouncer, no cover charge, no closed sign, no limits, just a call to love and to spend your life finding out each day what that means.
