Parents: kids will run from law and they will run from grace. The ones who run from law rarely come back. The ones who run from grace almost always come back.
When Jesus is tangibly real as our righteousness, treasure, and King: We grow a core of humility, a heart of kindness, and hope-saturated courage. Like Abraham, we SEE the coming City (Heb. 11:10-19). Like Paul, we rejoice Christ is being preached, period (Phil. 1:15-18)
Jesus is saying to each of us today (to you), “I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28) – Not polite disappointment, rolling eyes, a pep-talk, or another chance. Let's rest, dear friends, let's rest in Jesus.
"Believe God's love and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your rock is Christ, and it is not the rock that ebbs and flows but the sea." Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661)
The Tuesday “Skinny” - Let’s seek first God’s Kingdom, un-seek man’s approval; and constantly seek to come more fully alive to the beauty of Jesus and the riches of grace.
