It is good for God’s people to be together on Sundays. It is good for us to be reminded. To remember together. To affirm together as one people that, yes, this world is being saved. This whole world is being redeemed and restored. Everything that’s broken is being fixed and everything’s that’s gone wrong is being made right.
Not by politicians or platforms or parties. Not by power or force or money or threat. This world is not being saved by democracy or elections or the media or your favorite website.
Salvation is being won by God’s love and mercy grace. Reconciliation is happening through forgiveness and service and sacrifice. Our salvation and the salvation of the entire planet belongs only to our God through our risen and coming Lord Jesus!
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
Give thanks to the Lord; call on his name!
Make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted!
Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things!
Let this be known to all the world!
Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion!
For great is the Holy One of Israel among us!”
~Isaiah 12
It’s good to be reminded.
Peace,
Allan
