The intricate brickwork and centrepiece window of this "Independent Sabbath School" caught my eye. The datestone says it was built in 1890.
The crumpled poster reads:
"The blood of Jesus Christ... cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
Maybe you attended Sunday school as a child. Perhaps you still go to church regularly. On Judgement Day, neither our church attendance nor our "good works" will be enough to save us.
In fact, to rely on oneself in any way negates the all-sufficency of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice:
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
