1. The gospel's message is the scandalous announcement that Yahweh has stooped to our frame, to where we are.
  2. Fullness, truth, reality – all this God gives us as his gift in Christ.
  3. The law had to have its way with the expert to bring him around (and back) to Abraham's response.
  4. As the writer to the Hebrews affirms, what makes the Christian gospel so much better is that we are no longer dealing with “types and shadows."
  5. God resolves his wrath through the unexpected giving of his Son.
  6. Maybe, just maybe, our goal for 2023 should not be to live more but to die more.
  7. In Memory of My Friend, James Arne Nestingen
  8. The king has arrived and has already begun his reign forever and ever.
  9. To trust in the Lord, the Messiah, the Deliverer, is our salvation and our only hope. Yet he does not trust us to have this “trust” on our own or of our own will.
  10. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  11. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  12. We live again, not so that we will now pay our debt, but to proclaim that we live because our debt was paid!
