  2. God is mercy. He was mercy then. He’s mercy now. God showed them His glory, if only a reflection, in the face of Moses.
  3. I may feel today that the Lord has not found me, but in fact he has – he is intimately acquainted with all my ways.
  4. God saves us through people. He saves us through means. He puts a voice on the gospel.
  5. Only in Christ has God taken upon himself the worst that could ever happen between God and man: he has allowed himself to be rejected.
  6. Maybe it was because I read this book to put myself to sleep. But maybe the lack of any Christian references was part of my sadness.

  11. The sword of the spirit in Holy Scripture does indeed show us our sin, but thanks be to God, it also shows us our Savior.
  12. You might not know it, but every Christian hopes for the day when their faith will die. Really. I promise. Faith’s death is our celebration.
