Judgment (42)
  1. In many ways [this text] brings to mind Judgement Day and the separation of the sheep from the goats when Christ the King comes to take His treasured possession home to be with Him in the courts of everlasting life.
  2. With a new year comes many new things. In the corporate world, we again introduced to our yearly performance review.
  3. Judgement is not a fun topic to talk about, usually. Fortunately we have the Rev Bill Cwirla who was not only a lot of fun, but actually turned judgement into a hopeful doctrine!
  4. God’s grace is extended to the incorrigible alcoholic as well as to us, the more sophisticated sinners and drunks.
  5. Then, Jesus our Groom, with His nail-scarred hands takes our hands and walks out with us from that ultimate courtroom, and into eternity – His eternity – and a never-ending wedding feast.
  6. On the cross, God removed the load of every single one of your sins and placed it instead on Christ. Then, He clothed you with the fullness of His holiness and perfection.
  7. Nothing is easier than making grace unamazing. Just do what comes naturally.
  8. That’s where a true encounter with God leaves you. Unable to point the finger at anyone else, all you can do is fall on your face, confess your sin, be absolved, and join the angels in singing, “Holy, holy, holy.”
  9. God’s grace and freedom announces the truth to us about ourselves. We need a real Savior.
  10. God is for us in His foolish, scarred Word and Wisdom. Nothing is against us, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.
  11. And so we determine that God is a stern, short-tempered Lord and a gracious, long-suffering Father. And the fact is, He is both.
  12. Christ intercedes on your behalf before the Father for all the sins that work guilt deep down in your soul.
