How many sermons have we heard on the Jewish people rejecting Jesus?
"They wanted the Messiah to deliver them from Rome. They wanted food
for their tummies. Jesus has given them instead the message of life.
They wanted utopia and He gave them a cross, and the masses are going to
walk away. You know, it's an incredible thing. Why did they follow
Him? It was because they wanted to hear His words , and they wanted to
see His works. So what does He do? He does the work and gives them His
words. And what do they do? They walk away."- Johnie Grainger
And 2000+ years later.....
A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!
