God's Plan for the World | an overwhelming reminder that I am part of the ends of the earthf or the power of God's grace and redemption. @bigpittstop

Have you ever thought about the journey of the people involved in your spiritual lineage? Just like the lineage of Jesus is listed out in Matthew 1, have you ever thought about how far back you could trace your spiritual lineage – the name of the person who told you about Jesus and the name of the person that told them, and the name of the person that told them.
