“And again Isaiah says, ‘The root of Jesse will come, even He who arises to rule the Gentiles; in Him will the Gentiles hope.’ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” -Rom. 15:12-13
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep of His hand.” -Ps. 95:6-7
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” -2 Cor. 5:17
“We will not hide them from their generation, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and His might, and the wonders that He has done.” -Ps. 78:4
“He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and by His wounds we are healed.” -Is. 53:5
Preachers, we have a choice to make when we preach—make much of Jesus, or make much of ourselves. But we can’t do both at the same time. 2 Corinthians 4:5, “We do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord.”
You can drag your feet, procrastinate, make excuses, or take the next ship to Tarshish and run like Jonah. But when God is truly dealing with you, you’ll have no peace until you surrender to His will for your life.
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich.” -2 Cor. 8:9
“My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who reigns above, whose wisdom is my perfect peace, whose ev’ry thought is love. For ev’ry day I have on earth is given by the King; so I will give my life, my all, to love and follow Him.” -Keith Getty
As our Prophet, Jesus is the way, truth, and life. As our Priest, He has atoned for sin and intercedes for us. As our King, He reigns as sovereign Lord and is coming again.
“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” -Lam. 3:21-23
By God’s grace, the righteousness of Jesus becomes ours as we’re united to Him by faith. He who had no sin gave His life for those who have no righteousness. The Christian life is an exchanged life—Jesus in my place! 🙌
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” - 1 Peter 2:9
“But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy hill.” -Ps. 3:3
