In considering the Savior’s determination to implement the plan of salvation, the Hebrew writer says, “...Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2). Jesus went to the cross and shed His blood to atone for your sins and mine. Have you contacted His blood in the water of baptism? Are you living for Him? We invite you to learn more about Him and His way this Sunday at the Anna church of Christ. We hope to see you soon & wish you a great day!
