I haven't had a chance to post much the past few weeks - very sorry about that. But tomorrow is Palm Sunday, with Good Friday and Easter coming up right quick. This is a great time for us to really celebrate as a church by diving into the depths of the Gospel, and all that God accomplished in His Son, especially as He went to the cross.
Tomorrow Jordan will be preaching on God's glory and His love for the nations, from Psalm 96 and some selected Scriptures. Instead of the usual song list, I wanted to just post a quote for Palm Sunday, for reflection and prayer. Here's Tim Keller, talking about what Christ accomplished in the Gospel.
"[I]n Revelation, when John looks at the throne, the place of ultimate power in the universe, why does he see a slaughtered lamb? Because the death of Jesus Christ - the Lamb of God - is the greatest royal triumph in the history of the cosmos. When Jesus went under the sword, it broke his body, but it also broke itself...[H]e was overturning the sacrificial system of the temple and opening the way into the presence of God for everyone."
Tim Keller (from King's Cross)
When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday He received a lot of praise
from the people, but He would be a conquering King in ways people had no
clue about at that time. I hope this can help fuel your worship, as we
all gather the next two weeks and rejoice together in the Gospel.
See you tomorrow!
