Ephesians 1 opens with a powerful reminder of God’s grace and forgiveness. Through Christ, our sins are forgiven, and we are brought into a new identity as God’s own people.

In Matthew 15, Jesus challenges us with a question that reaches straight into the heart: Are you nullifying the Word of God for the sake of your tradition? (Matthew 15:6–9).
