Preaching (2223)
  1. Jesus Christ is the only one whose “standing in the breach” satisfied God’s just wrath for debts and sins while at the same time bringing the saving mercy and life that God desires for all people.
  2. The Kingdom we have been planted in is not a scramble to the top, but a dive to the bottom, to serve, to receive, not to lord it over and acquire and do.
  3. For those who hear the Father’s Word of forgiving love in Christ, the “I will not” changes to an, “I will.”
  4. What all variations of affable chatter share in common is that the preacher does not do justice to the most salient fact about him and his hearers: They are dead men walking.
  5. We expect God to be at least as fair our society. But that is not how God operates.
  6. The worthy life is not payment for citizenship. It is the life of a citizen who knows where home is... and who has built the house!
  7. Isaiah uses commands and rhetorical questions to invite Israel to have faith in the future deliverance of God and to trust in the finished work of His “suffering servant.”
