God entered human history in the person of Jesus Christ in order to tie the poor threads of our scrap of time back into eternity. God’s wide embrace includes you and me, for it was for the lost of this world that God sent Jesus so that we and our moment on history’s stage might be redeemed. You are locked into the embrace of God, an embrace that will never fail. In Jesus
Christ, God has said, “I love you. You are mine.”
