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. 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!
