A Few Thoughts on My Grandma

(I wrote this at the end of a long day, the day of the funeral for my Grandma, March 5th, 2020.) Today was hard. My family and I laid to rest the body of my Grandma. It was both a sad and a joyful time. I’m so sad that she is no longer with us, but I’m joyful that she is finally home and truly in complete peace and rest. As we passed by the casket for the last time I paused for only a short time. I looked on the face that I knew as my Grandma’s. But I only looked for a moment. This wasn’t her. She was gone. As she was in the hands of our Father and our Savior Jesus Christ here on earth, she is now embraced in the arms of our God. For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. — 2 Corinthians 5:4 This verse has been running around in my head over the past few days, after I got to read this passage (2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10 spe...

Reading Challenge: Tempted and Tried

I originally was going to do a section on each chapter from Russell Moore’s book, Tempted and Tried , that deals with the temptations of Jesus, but this would be a long post if I went into all that and what I learned from them, so here are a couple thoughts and takeaways from the first temptation (Chapter 3, “Starving to Death”) and also a powerful section I want to quote from Chapter 4, “Free Falling”.

When temptation comes, it’s so hard to look the other way and reject the promise of immediate satisfaction. Not one of us has lived very long in this life without being tempted by some kind of lust, desire, or craving. Our temptations are powerful. Not a single one of us has ever overcome the power of temptation completely, except One. Russell Moore’s book, Tempted and Tried , focuses on the temptation of Christ in the desert....

One Week Later

Image
One week later the Hope of the earth has risen. Grace and mercy has come upon us. The Glory of the LORD has risen from the grave and sin and death are defeated. One week later we remember what has happened. No longer is He on the cross. No longer is He in the grave. The Hope of the world has risen.  One week later the rejoicing continues. God’s mercy is never ending and new each morning. The King of all is with us now and death does not separate us from Him.  One week later the Father’s wrath is appeased and we have been propitiated. Not by our work, but by the work of the only One who could ever obtain grace from the Father—His perfect Son.  One week later we look back and see what we could not see before. God’s perfect plan is revealed to us. We see that He was to be bruised for us, wounded for His children, sacrificed to bring a once alienated people to the Father.  One week later we are now made alive by His resurrection. In Him we’ve been raised to new life....
