We should be astonished at the goodness of God, stunned that He should bother to call us by name, our mouths wide open at His love, bewildered that at this very moment we are standing on holy ground.

John Owen
If I have observed anything by experience, it is this: a man may take the measure of his growth and decay in grace according to his thoughts and meditations upon the person of Christ, and the glory of Christ’s Kingdom, and of His love.

Jesus clashed most with religious people, specifically the Pharisees. There was always storm when they were together. Religious people preach salvation by works. Jesus preached salvation by grace. Religious people are into the outward appearance. Jesus is into the heart. Religious people sent Jesus to the cross for their egos – pride. Jesus went to the cross for our salvation – humility.

William Hendriksen, Matthew, 1973, Baker, p. 884.
The Lord grants us opportunities for service in accordance with our ability to make use of them. Accordingly, since not all men have the same ability, therefore not all have the same, or equal number of, opportunities. In the Day of Judgment the number (of opportunities for service, “talents”) will not matter. The question is only, “Have we been faithful in their use?” (see Matthew 25:14-20).
William Hendriksen, Matthew, 1973, Baker, p. 884.

When the early believers converted to Christ, it never occurred to them to fit Him into the margins of their busy lives. They redefined themselves around a new, immovable center. He was not an optional weekend activity, along with the kids’ soccer practices. They put Him and His church and His cause first in their hearts, first in their schedules, first in their budgets, first in their reputations, first in their very lives. They devoted themselves [Acts 2:42]. [This was] unmistakable evidence that the Holy Spirit was being poured out.

Tout au long de la vie, les gens vous rendront furieux, vous manqueront de respect et vous traiteront mal. Laisse Dieu s'occuper des choses qu'ils font, car la haine dans ton cœur te consumera aussi.

Waiting on the Lord’s promises can be difficult, but mastering our immediate desires will allow us to step out from under man’s timing to prepare for God’s. The goal for any believer is to stay in step with what the Lord is doing and not to move ahead or behind this pace.

We cannot let our past circumstances redefine our present reality and reduce our God-given destiny to what we feel we can handle.

Not even in this world does sin pay its servants good wages.

Martin Luther, Commentary on Galatians 3:13.
Our most merciful Father, seeing us to be oppressed and overwhelmed with the curse of the law…sent His only Son into the world and laid upon Him all the sins of all men, saying, “You be Peter that denier, Paul that persecutor, blasphemer and cruel oppressor, David that adulterer, that sinner who ate the apple in Paradise, that thief who hung upon the cross, and briefly, you be the person who has committed the sins of all men. See therefore that You pay and satisfy for them.”
Martin Luther, Commentary on Galatians 3:13.
