Bloggers will post hundreds of April fool’s day jokes today - following in the keystrokes of a few that were a bit preemptive, and a few that are just cool. Interestingly enough, most of the pranks on the internet will revolve around something big that just can’t be true.I was reading in Ephesians today and came across a couple verses that could have sounded like a 2000 year old April fools joke. They are just so big… there is no earthly way they’re true.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he has loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.Ephesians 2: 4, 5, 8 & 9
The whole section (2:1-10) is a screaming testament to our salvation through Christ by faith. But how foolish is that to believe? That even though I don’t deserve it, could never earn it and didn’t even know to ask for it, God extended grace?No April fools joke, that’s the gospel (fool).
