Lent (21)
  1. Even if the only thing remaining of you is your bones, even if you are dead in sins and trespasses (like Ezekiel’s hearers and all peoples), He can give you life.
  2. Jesus is displaying the works of God which He has for the world so all might see, both physically and especially spiritually, the salvation found only in Christ.
  3. Grace is God’s attitude towards sinners. This is what God’s people had mistaken in the desert.
  4. Faith is never something we have on our own, but it is something God’s Word of promise creates out of nothing.
  5. In Genesis 3, we see at the beginning of biblical history that all our problems started at a tree. Is it any wonder that in God’s infinite beauty He would poetically solve all our problems on another tree?
  6. God puts Himself on trial in order to demonstrate to His people that He is their only qualified deliverer.
  7. The first Exodus for God’s people was from Egypt. The second Exodus is for the exiles in Isaiah. The greatest Exodus would be for all people with Jesus.
  8. The question is: Who is the watchman? By whose blood are we accounted for as righteous before God?
  9. Grace is God’s attitude towards sinners; not holding their sins against them but relenting from the Law’s just judgement and giving the undeserved Gospel instead.
  10. Nothing is sweeter or more nourishing than Jesus Christ, the fulfilled promise of God for us.
  11. The prophet is clear that this coming King would be different from the common experience of kings, both in Israel and among all the kings of the earth.
  12. God has chosen to covenant with us, to forgive us, and not hold our sins and trespasses against us. He has changed His attitude towards us.
