Inheritance

Scripture:
Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:11-14

About This Image:
My grandparents and their grandparents before them lived in what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While they weren't members of this church (the Methodist church in Cades Cove) they were part of other mountain churches like this one. This is my heritage. I am grateful for the inheritance of a family on both my mother and father's sides that loved and served Jesus. But the greater inheritance is the one provided to all "his people in the kingdom of light," by Jesus Christ who purchased our redemption.
