We Can Get Busy Living

"Get busy living, or get busy dying.” It's the famous line from the blockbuster movie, "The Shawshank Redemption." However, because of our sins the best we could in this life is to get busy dying. In fact, the apostle reminds us that we were already dead in trespasses and sins. However, with the redemption that God has given to us in His Son, and poured upon us in our Baptism, death itself has been defeated and you and I can truly "get busy living."
