Safe & Saved

The life I now I live I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatains 2:20)

"The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life."

(1 Tim: 15-16)

"This is the only ground that never cracks underneath my feet.

This is the only healing I know.

This is the only song I am willing to sing."

Christmas for the Chief of Sinners

In this Christmas sermon, Jason Meyer preaches on 1 Timothy 1:15-17 and four different angles on why Jesus came into the world.

Shall forests hide their beauty? Shall rainbows fade to gray? Shall mountain streams stop dancing? Shall lambs forget to play? And shall I keep silence at grace beyond degree? Before the Cross I count as loss What once was dear to me.

Shall birds forget their singing? Shall constellations stray? Shall thunderstorms be muzzled? Shall sunlight fade away? And shall I keep silent, ashamed of Christ my Lord? His holiness And faithfulness Angel hosts adore.

Shall flowers mask their colors? Shall waves die in the sea? Shall full moon turn to darkness? Shall laughter cease to be? And shall I keep silent by basking in his love? I’ll tell his praise Through all my days And then in heaven above.

Upon a life I have not lived, Upon a death I did not die, Another's life, another's death, I stake my whole eternity. Not on the tears which I have shed, Not on the sorrows I have known, Another's tears, another's griefs, On these I rest, on these alone.

- Horatius Bonar (1881)

Communion: The warm meal of the Father for the prodigal that has returned home.

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress; Helpless, look to thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.

(Picture taken in 2019 - On a car ride in India, written plainly on a wall for all to see - Amen.)

The measure of God’s goodness for the cynic is what happened to me.

The measure of God’s goodness for the worshipper is what happened to Christ, for me.

===

Cynics only look back far enough to see what happened to them.

Worshippers look even further back to see what happened to Christ, for them.

The Man on the Middle Cross Said I Can Come | Alistair Begg

Excerpt from the sermon "The Power and Message of the Cross" preached by Alistair Begg on November 20, 2019https://youtu.be/SL8mJQ39zjwMore sermons by Alista...

“Exactly on what basis are you here?”

“The man on the middle cross said I can come.”

(Luke 23:43 - “And he said to him, ‘Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”)

Because the sinful saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free.

For God the just is satisfied, to look on Him and pardon me.

Isaiah 9:2

[safeandsaved]

“[12] And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: [13] I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. [14] When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, [15] I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. [16] When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

(Genesis 9:12–16)
