this direction is ONE WAY. God reaching down to us through Jesus Christ, by His finished work, in His life, death & resurrection. this is the engine that drives all the other reaches, and it's always first & foremost. we declare the liberating power of the gospel through God's two words of Law & Gospel. in the word of Law, God only and always demands, never gives. think "thou shall/thou shall not", or "do". here God exposes the sin that is there. now awakened to a needy condition, God's word of Gospel (or grace) floods in. This blessed word that only gives and never demands. think "I will", "done" and "it is finished". This word of God in grace sets the captive free!

here, we discover His inexhaustible grace for an exhausted world. in His grip, we find all the love, acceptance, forgiveness, meaning, purpose & value that we crave.

lose this reach and you lose Jesus and all His benefits!
