Faith and Works (4)
  1. We are invited to entrust everything to the one who accomplished what we could not: living and bleeding and dying and rising again, so that “whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). To put it another way, when it comes to the kingdom of God, there’s no room for DIY’ers. Best leave it to the professionals.
  2. Maybe, just maybe, our goal for 2023 should not be to live more but to die more.
  3. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  4. God’s love is axiomatic; it just is. It’s a truism without a logical explanation.
