10 Things You Should Know about the Lord’s Supper
by Tim Chester | The Communion meal involves us in and embraces us in God’s grace. We are not mere observers. We do something. We eat something. We become participants in the story...

Um dos slogans da Reforma foi 'semper reformanda', normalmente traduzida como 'sempre reformando'; mas uma melhor tradução seria 'sempre sendo reformada' (pela Palavra de Deus). Isto descreve não um movimento à frente para algum horizonte desconhecido, mas um movimento contínuo de volta à Palavra de Deus.

by Tim Chester | People who moan really annoy me. People who go on about their petty problems or the failings of the government or the state of the roads or the behavior of young people—or old people. Don’t they realize how privileged they are? It really annoys me...
by Tim Chester | “I’m writing a book on joy and the Reformation.” His raised eyebrows were enough to tell me he was skeptical. “What’s joy got to do with the Reformation?” It was one of those questions that is really a statement. Joy is not something many people readily associate with the Protestant Reformation. Courage, yes. Controversy, yes.…
A justiça de Deus é a justiça que Ele nos dá para que possamos ser justiça perante Ele. A justiça de Deus não é um atributo de Deus que fica acima e contra a humanidade, nos julgando com base no mérito. Ela é um dom de Deus pelo qual Ele nos declara justos apesar de não sermos justos em nós mesmos.

O cerne da Reforma foi o debate sobre como conhecemos a Deus e como podemos ter paz com Ele. Em jogo estava o nosso futuro eterno, uma escolha entre o céu e o inferno. […] Para os Reformadores não havia nenhuma necessidade mais urgente do que a confiança frente ao julgamento divino, e não havia nenhum ato mais amoroso do que proclamar a mensagem da graça que concedeu vida eterna àqueles que responderam com fé. A Reforma ainda é importante porque a vida eterna ainda é importante.

How does Christ relate to us now? He sits in heaven on our behalf. He's our guarantee of a place with God. His work on the cross is complete. But it goes on speaking. It speaks to the Father as a permanent sign that the price of sin has been paid in full. And it speaks to us with a message of comfort when we're besieged with doubt. We respond by seeing Jesus in heaven on our behalf. We give up our attempts to remove our guilt, establish our identity or prove ourselves. Instead we rest on his finished work. And we respond with love. When we look at Jesus, seated at the Father's side, we see the Friend who laid down his life for his friends (John 15 v.12-13). We see the Husband who gave himself up for his bride (Ephesians 5 v.25). We see the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for his sheep (John 10 v.11).
