Our Story
by Greg England
A Welch shepherd was presented with an orphaned lamb. Unable to find a nursing ewe to accept the lamb, he took it under his care … waiting for just the right moment / event. Within a few days that moment came. A dead lamb was found and the shepherd immediately skinned it and placed the skin of the dead lamb over the orphan. He took the orphan to the mother of the dead lamb, who sniffed it a couple of times and immediately accepted it and began nursing it.
That is our story. That’s justification. I, of myself and in myself, cannot be accepted by God, so Jesus - the Lamb of God - died for me and I am clothed with him. Accepted by God no less than if I were Jesus himself. Now if that doesn’t make your day … what can?
