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....

Afflicted for the Glory of Christ

I’ve been reading through Psalm 119 over the past few weeks. A couple verses that have been stuck on my mind a lot and have been drawing me back again and again are these: Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. Psalm 119:67, 71 So often I become complacent. I’ve found that when life is easy and going smoothly, I forget God’s Word so easily. “I don’t need God right now. I’ve got this handled.” How foolish. It is at that moment that I most need God. It is at that moment that sin is at the door, ready to come in and wreak havoc. I’ve already lost the battle against sin before it even happens. And yet complacency occurs again and again. So God, in His kindness, afflicts me. It is not an affliction that is fueled by His wrath. I’ve heard it well said before that if you face no temptations and trials in your life, be fearful. It very well may be that you are not Christ’s...

Grace To a Sinner

One of my favorite songs of all time is Rich Mullins’, Awesome God. My favorite lyric of that song is this line: Judgment and wrath He poured out on the Sodom  Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross I hope that you have not Too quickly forgotten that Our God is an awesome God Up to that point in the song Rich has been explaining why our God is awesome. From the moment of creation, to the time of the Fall, and to the cross, Rich shows us why our God is an awesome God. All summed up in this culminating statement, “Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross”. Many times when I hear this line, I have been brought to tears. I look to God’s holiness and see my sinfulness. I see His wrath on Sodom for their sin, then I see His mercy and grace at the Cross. That judgment and wrath that He poured out on Sodom... I deserved that. But He gave  me  grace. See this passage from 1 Corinthians: Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit th...
