Lent (222)
  1. We were enemies, but because of the self-sacrificing love of Christ, we are made friends, indeed, even the adopted children of our Heavenly Father.
  2. Jesus sits by the well as a shepherd, coming to offer this woman a life-giving stream.
  3. When we pray, “Thy will be done,” we are praying a cosmic, grand and mighty prayer.
  4. Into our world of sin, broken hearts, physical ailments, and psychological suffering, our Lord of grace descended.
  5. The Church is called to be counter-cultural, to stand out in order that the world might see and hear the truth and be brought into the Kingdom.
  6. Paul says he would inherit the entire world, not merely a little plot of land between Egypt and Syria. This is what God is after in the Messiah: All people and the entire Earth.
  7. Jesus promises to work for you, forgiving your sins, but He also promises to work through you, forming you into a witness to the world.
  8. But this is not a story of Jesus being taken many places. This is a story of Jesus remaining in one place and deepening in His love of the Spirit and the Father.
  9. The main point Paul has been getting at in Romans is what God has done in the One man Jesus the Messiah—the rightful heir of God’s earthly kingdom—is far, far more than simply putting the human race back where it was before the intrusion of sin.
  10. The Seed of the woman is he who will crush the head of the evil one and restore man to a right and proper relationship with God.
