Matthew 26:36-75 | Exodus 22-23:9 | Psalm 109 | Ep# 2139

God graciously gives us the gift of life, honor, and purpose by his grace through faith, because we are unable to earn it by our own effort

An essential component of our prayer is — or should be — asking the Holy Spirit to help us grasp the depth of God’s blessing in Christ.

Boast in the cross—it’s the only thing that makes you a new creation.

If Christ has set you free, keep choosing freedom.

Abandoning the gospel leads to hostility and slavery. Forgiveness doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences.

We receive the Holy Spirit and adoption as sons and daughters of the king only through faith in Jesus Christ.

We honor God when we play the role he wants us to play.

Jesus Christ died for our sins to rescue us from this evil age according to God’s will and for his glory.

The empty tomb demands a response.

God builds his kingdom on the tears of broken men and women who have hurt THE innocent one…Jesus the Christ.
