Work of Christ (113)
  1. "Whom shall we fear?" We fear no one. We're not afraid of anything. Instead, we wait for the Lord with good courage. He will strengthen our hearts, as the psalmist writes (Ps 27:1).
  2. What greater friend could we have than Jesus?
  3. He is our gold. He is our pure garment. He is our healing. He is our sanity. He is our wholeness.
  4. He would not go back on his word, for his word is the word of the Father and the Spirit, and they all say “come.”
  5. Is there anything abiding, anything long-lasting that can inspire us to hope again?
  6. As the storm waves of life crash into us, threatening to pull us down into the undertow of sin, Jesus comes and stands between us and the furious tides.
  7. The biggest point Luther makes about the descent is not that Jesus triumphed over hell idle and unaffected, but that Jesus defeated hell by suffering hell away.
  8. When it comes to confessing the truth of the Christian faith, Christians are given the words. We don’t have to formulate them ourselves.
  9. We hold fast to Christ Jesus where He’s most God, most Savior, for us: in His gifts of word, water, bread, and wine.
  10. As every nail that Jesus hammered was a delight to his Father, so every email you send, every purchase you ring up, every table you wipe down, is a delight to the Father.
  11. When we think God is doing something for us here or there or everywhere, we are simply fixing labels and putting value on what we imagine God is doing for us.
  12. The veil was not torn to let us in but to let God out.
