Ephesians 5:7-14

Ephesians 5:7-14
English Standard Version (ESV) 

  I was listening to a sermon the other day when the preacher brought up a very important point.  We weren't just kinda-bad people whom Christ fixed up to be pretty good people by his death on the cross.  We weren't just in a spot of trouble and then God worked it out so we'd be okay.
  We were dead.
  And through Christ, we have been brought back to life.
  Death --> Life.
  This is what Christ accomplished.  Let us ensure that we never minimize what Christ has done, and may we endeavor to live in such a way that we honor the life and death of Jesus Christ, praising him constantly for the wondrous, miraculous, generous, graceful and merciful act of bringing us back to life.
