Here's an example: someone says, "Master, please hand me the knife," and he hands them the knife, blade first. "Please give me the other end," he says. And the master replies, "What would you do with the other end?" This is answering an everyday matter in terms of the metaphysical.

To be "in Christ" is to place one's trust in Him for salvation from sin. To be "in Christ" is to trust His goodness, not our own; to trust that His sacrificial death on the cross paid the complete debt of death we owe for our sin; to trust that His resurrection gives us eternal life instead of relying upon our own ability to please God. To be "in Christ" is to claim, by faith, the free gift of salvation. To be "in Christ" is to enjoy a completely restored relationship with our Father in heaven by virtue of His Son's righteous standing.
Run,” he whispered. “Run. ” “No, Rand,” I said, brushing the dirt from his face. “I’m tired of running. ” “Forgive me, please. ” He clutched my hand as his eyes beseeched me through tears of pain. “You’re forgiven. ” He sighed once, then stopped breathing. The shine in his brown eyes dulled. I pulled his hood over his head.
Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it.
