Seeing Jesus As We Ought To
The introduction to Hebrews starts with a loud statement of the passing from one covenant to another. Where God spoke through prophets, now he speaks through his Son. We can directly speak with God through Jesus. All of this is due to Jesus’ life, sacrifice and conquering of death. His entire set of attributes is proof of his deity and his ability to deliver us from our sin. He is worthy of every second of worship we offer to Him.
Victory in Contentment
Philippians 4:13 is a verse you see slapped on bumper stickers, banners, clothing and even skin claiming victory through Christ. But a quick look shows that the victory is in contentment that dealing with trials of life is the victory we have in Christ.
