Mercy For the Greatest Sinners
Posted by
“God who is rich in mercy…. loved us even when we were dead in our sins [and] quickened us together with Christ.” Why did he do all this? “That in ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us in Christ Jesus” (Eph 2:4-7). So he allures others and their children to come to him and partake of the same grace through Jesus Christ.
As the Jerusalem sinners were of the highest sort among the Jews, so these Ephesian sinners were of the highest sort among the Gentiles (Eph 2:1-3; 2:11, 12)…. When God saves one great sinner, it is to encourage another great sinner to come to him for mercy.
—John Bunyan “The Jerusalem Sinner Saved”

Death is Not Dying
Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to her Lord on July 2, 2009 at 37 years of age. Rachel is survived by her husband Neil and her children Quinn and Kate, parents Ben and Cathy Sawer, brother David (Johanna) Sawer and sister Andrea Sawer.
But for Rachel the essence of life was found in her relationship with God through Jesus. And that's why Rachel was convinced that death is not dying.
