The power of the Gospel in the drive-thru line. I asked her, the lady at the window, "what if we were punished for all our sins?"
Smiling, she said, "we'd be pitiful."
That's the smile of someone who fully appreciates the message; the Legalist doesn't have that smile, and the Pharisee was apt to kill anyone who spoke the message. But in the drive-thru line, talking to Mike? A purely safe and secure, joyous space for the Gospel to blossom and grow.
He is come.
He came as man and experienced pain and imputing of sin, but come as Spirit, he joy and love and peace to all those who call out to Him.

It was in that morning, early, when the two went to see their deceased friend.
A miracle waited.
And soon, the apostles realized that Jesus's words were coming true, and his sacrifice to our sin debt was fulfilled.
