Five + Two = Perfection: Does Luck Hold the Key to Life or Does Love Have It?

In this current world of chaos, confusion, and destruction, it seems as though there is nowhere to go but up. There are food shortages, natural disasters, and sickness, and all kinds of life-threatening diseases. In the long and short of it, there are the dealings of Sin and everything else in between.

As a whole, we're not at the lowest point in our lives, as things will begin to get even worse before they start to get better. There is hope, though. There are waves upon waves of God's mercy and grace. And because of this hope, we can look joyfully ahead to an even brighter future. We can look upward toward eternity, even while at the bottom of despair as we view the current world in its temporary form.

In this abstract tale of luck, numbers, and love, and with its trail of back-and-forth messaging, God is trying to tell us something. But who will He use in His own reflection to relay His message to us? And what object of His own affection will He use to get His message to us? A cross.
