Love of God (13)
  1. “The fear of the Lord” is our heart’s awakening to and recognition of God’s outrageous goodness.
  2. More certain than death or taxes and more certain than “anything else in all creation” is the fact that God loves you.
  3. Instead of a death sentence, those brothers hear the words of deliverance.
  4. This is the sound of freedom. The Eternal One died so that we who are dying might live eternally with him.
  5. While midnight might seem long, the mercy of God assures us that the morning will come.
  6. The testimony of every son and daughter of God is, God has brought us through.
  7. Our only hope in life and death is that God loves sinners, who fail and forget constantly, with a love that is just as constant.
  8. The Word of Yahweh is not a trifling thing that can be visited only when it’s convenient. It’s a book of life, for all of life, that imparts life to those who believe in it and the God of it.
  9. But Jesus didn’t see it that way. He saw his arrest not as the kingdom’s program being thwarted but as it being “fulfilled.”
  10. Mankind’s “thoughts and ways” on the matter of pardon and forgiveness do not even come close to exhausting, let alone fathoming, God’s “thoughts and ways.”
  11. The Bible is a book for the desperate. That is its target audience. Recognizing our desperation readies us to hear the consolation that only God’s Word can offer.
  12. There is a power that is stronger and mightier than the power of separation in death. And that power is the power of God’s love for you and me.
