God's Love for Us in Christ

"Whenever we gaze at the cross, we ought to be constrained to say, 'Does He love me more than He loves Him? That he would give Him for me?"--C. H. Spurgeon, as quoted in J Ligon Duncan III, Only One Way?, footnote, p 125

Tis something for you to think about today.

The Proclamation of the Church

"But in the Cross and resurrection, the entire spiritual order was upended, his victory reached into and across the universe, and saving grace is now personalized in him. The world with all of its pleasures, power and comforts, is fading away, the pall of divine judgment hangs over it, a new order has arisen in Christ, and only in this new order can be found meaning, hope, and acceptance with God. It is truth, not private sprituality that apostolic Christianity was about. It was Christ, not the self as means of access into the sacred. It was Christ, with all of his painful demands of obedience, not comfortable country clubs that early Christianity was about. It was what God had done in space and time when the world was stood on its head that was its preoccupation, not the multiplication of programs, strobe lights, and slick drama. Images we may want, entertainment we may desire, but it is the proclamation of Christ crucified and risen that is the Church's truth to tell."--David Wells, Above All Earthly Pow'rs, 231-232
