Heirs

After Galatians 3:1-9 

It’s an ongoing reading

of the will, a daily event

to which all are invited.

The will is read, announcing

the inheritance for the heirs.

It is a will like no other,

read aloud, the words

themselves taking form,

taking life, leaping from

the page to the heart. 

The heirs learn what it is

they’re receiving, that

it is not based on what

they did, their deeds and

accomplishments (also

known as the way 

of the world, at least

on a good day). Instead,

the inheritance comes

from what they believe.

It is about who they are,

not what they did.
