Preaching (262)
  1. By death the Christian is brought to the actual possession of all his happiness, which is nothing other than Christ and all the benefits Christ has procured for His saints.
  2. Just as the condemnation embraces us even now, so too does the remedy and the promise. Both are found in the cross of Christ.
  3. One now finds Edwards frequently commenting on the beautiful things about nature, life, and Christ, and he also manifests a creative perception of beauty when considering the most morose of topics: Death.
  4. The real point of the tongues phenomenon lies not with spiritual endowments but in its redemptive historical significance.
  5. The one who believes has the Spirit, the water, and the blood literally within himself, bearing witness to the individual that Jesus is the risen and ruling savior of the world.
  6. We are chosen in love and for love. We abide in Jesus’ love and Jesus’ love abides in us for the neighbor.
  7. The Ascension of our Lord teaches how Heaven and Earth overlap and interlock and finally will be visibly joined together forever.
  8. The hallmark of the Spirit of truth is that Jesus Christ, true Son of God, and true Son of Mary, “for us men and for our salvation,” came in the flesh.
  9. Christians are driven by different motives and an altogether different spirit than the unregenerate world.
  10. We are promised we will also be before Him as true persons, both soul and body, a resurrected and fully redeemed human being.
  11. Rituals, like the liturgy and the sacraments, resist domestication and confront us with a world and worldview brought forth from the Bible and through twenty centuries of Christianity for the purpose of arresting our contemporary worldview through its self-sameness.
  12. The combination of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection mean the present is transformed forever.
