Two Words That Changed Everything
Ephesians 2:13
"But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ."
Reflection
"But now." Two words. And everything shifts. Paul has just painted the bleakest picture imaginable — and then he pivots with those two words. But now. This is how the Gospel always moves: it enters the sentence right where hope ran out. But now you are brought near. But now you are no longer far. But now the distance between you and God has been closed — not by your effort, your religion, or your goodness, but by the blood of Jesus Christ. The pivot is not gradual. It is immediate. It is decisive. And it is entirely His doing.

Application
Wherever your story feels stuck in the "without" — Jesus is the "but now."

Prayer
Jesus, thank You for being my "but now." Thank You for entering the gap between who I was and who I am in You. Help me live today in the full reality of what You have already done.
