The university chaplains invite one and all from Loma Linda University Health to attend the weekly chapels held Wednesdays from 11 to 11:50 a.m. at Loma Linda University Church.
Is grace a scandal? The theme of the chapels this school year is just that: the scandal of grace. The chaplains explain:
“There is a gift that God has extended to humanity through His Son Jesus Christ, and it was, and continues to be, outrageous. Jesus' message rages against conventional wisdom because we live in a culture where justice is expected when a crime is committed. The message of Jesus, to the contrary, states that when a crime is committed, He pays the ultimate price of dying for us. We are not only set free from our sin, we are also enabled by His grace to play a part in His incredible plan and purpose of bringing His Kingdom to the earth.”
Throughout the school year, chapel will journey through the book of John, often called the "love gospel" or the "gospel of love," to discover, analyze and understand how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.
