(Since we are in Weakness Week, it is imperative that I adress the famous self-rant. Sometimes, I feel to write over and over again. Those who are older know about this rant, when I wrote it back in July 24. Why do I decide to rerun such horrible post with that assumption of myself? I will tell you why soon…)

Yesterday, I talked about how the cross not only defines who we are, or what we are, but what we aren’t or can’t do: give our lives for all humankind. That was in Jesus’ job. Today, it is different: He is Lord! “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. (Matthew 28:5-6, NIV) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? (Psalm 22:1, NIV) “Be glad, O people of Zion, rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.”(Joel 2:23, NIV) We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5, NIV) They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” (1 Samuel 8:5,NIV) Today, I will share with you the story of the most beautiful sunrise in Washington, DC. Or… the outskirts. It starts with this… His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden. (Habakkuk 3:4, NIV) The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1,NIV) |
