Always Abounding

1 Corinthians 15:58

Hope is yours for the taking. The resurrection is a settled matter. Few things more readily promote stability in life than the assurance of eventual victory. If you know in the end, you win, you can go through anything. The Christian is someone alive to life, because for the Christian, Christ through His life is alive in them. They've been born again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If you live in the light of the implication of that event- be established, be enthused, be expectant. Know that He is presiding, praying and providing. The Gospel is an antidote to the meaninglessness that marks so many. The Gospel teaches us that God sent His one and only son so that you and I, through belief in Jesus Christ, might be given the gift of eternal life. Our life under the sun is eternally significant and nothing we do is meaningless.

The Suffering Continues

April 15, 2022 • Philip De Courcy

Christ's suffering is finished. But in another sense, His suffering continues through the suffering of the church as it preaches the message of the crucified Savior. He suffered as a man, he suffered for man and he suffers from man. The first two are history, the third is ongoing. The first two are finished and complete. The last one is unfinished and incomplete. He who knew no sin, absorbed the wrath of God concerning our sin. And in a wonderful exchange, God put our sin on Christ, and if we'll put our fear in Christ, His righteousness becomes ours. Jesus’ suffering for man is complete. You don't need to do anything for God to accept you. You just need to throw your arms around the one God loves most of all, His Son, and be amazed at God's love for you in His Son. Jesus Christ offered Himself once forever, and obtained for us eternal salvation. Jesus' death doesn't need to be repeated in a mass. Jesus' death doesn't need to be added to in tenants, or good works, or religious activity. He offered a full, and final, and forever sacrifice for sin.
