"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Col 1: 13-14
"When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. "
Col 2 :13-15
There is great unfathomable mystery in the providence and mercy of God. In many ways both the goodness of God and the depth of suffering in our broken and rebellious humanity (both of which God has contained within his grasp and plan of salvation), illustrate that his ways are way beyond our ways. (ISA 55:8-9) In the darkest of cosmic moments (MARK 15:33) we see our Saviour pay in entirety for our Sin, and defeat all God’s enemies. When all hope seems lost we see an empty tomb.
Jonathan Edwards put it this way…
“There would be no manifestation of God’s grace or true goodness,
if there was no sin to be pardoned, no misery to be saved from.”
The polarity of good and bad in our own personal and wide world experience is beyond our understanding. Yet, God has ordained that both be contained within his plans, and in his sovereign grip of grace He works salvations’ redemptive purposes within the weave of this complex tapestry.
The update and prayer requests of the last few days illustrates the poles of life’s incomprehnsible spectrum, the depth of God’s mystery. In this though we are more convinced than ever, that God is working his purposes out for his glory.
Romans 8: 37.
No, in all these things
We Praise God for the wheels which minister love, and servants who bring happiness.
