Our theme for Student Ministries this year is AWAKEN. If we are honest with ourselves, we have been asleep in many ways. Many of us as believers are sleeping when it comes to living out and expressing our lives in Christ. In the book of Ephesians we are told who we once were apart from Christ: dead in our transgressions, separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship, foreigners without hope, aliens living in darkness. But through the blood of Christ we have redemption and have been brought near to Him. We have been reconciled. We are alive, no longer foreigners and aliens we are now children of God and are living in the light. When we truly see how fortunate we are as believers in Christ coming from darkness into the light we can truly appreciate, how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:18-19).
