Colossians 1:   He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Luke 23:   “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

When we embrace the unknown with an open heart, we make way for newness of soul—our own.
