  5. Everything in Scripture is God revealing himself to his people, you and me.
  6. Christ Jesus brings his word and presence to where you are and he is even willing to do so through the likes of your personally present pastor.

  9. This is the Christian word: grace. Such grace is found only with this Lamb who is also our Shepherd.
