Why did my Savior have to die if there is no Hell?
You know who isn’t beautiful? You and I. Yet it makes God look BIG and GLORIOUS when He is restoring us, making us who are ugly into holy beings. What is sanctification anyways? What is suffering anyways? What is being sweetly broken anyways? What is being made new anyways? What is Love anyways? What is light without the darkness?
Who are we to decide what is beautiful and what is not to God? Aren’t we just comparing whose burnt offering looks better in God’s eyes without knowing what breaks His heart?
Jesus wants the trampled and broken. He wants the rose. He is the Bridegroom to the Church. In our dirtiest and weakest state He came to meet us. To redeem us as THE kinsmen redeemer. That is the power of the Gospel. What is the Gospel anyways?
What is the Bible anyways? Is it just a book? Is it just art? Or is it the living breathe of God, revealed by the Holy Spirit as truth? When we read the Bible, aren’t we listening to God as Elijah or Isaiah or Moses did? What is intimacy anyways? Why was the veil torn anyways? Who or what is the Holy Spirit anyways?
When did we start talking about the Gospel without the Cross?
No Cross, no Crown.
