Paul presents a clear, well-reasoned case for the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Knowing about His supremacy doesn’t make Him supreme in our lives; our insecurities stem from trying to make ourselves supreme, knowing we can’t save ourselves. What truly draws us to Jesus is understanding that He uses His supremacy for us out of love.
Our culture desperately seeks identity amidst confusion and darkness. We mistakenly believe that self-determination brings joy and fulfillment, but it only leads to loneliness and despair. The Light of Christ enters our darkness to transform us into beloved children of God.
There is nothing more attractive than Christian Hope. Hope is the sure and certain confidence in the truth and promises of God. Trust in Jesus gives birth to this Hope in our hearts that endures through life’s most challenging circumstances. Through Jesus’ finished work we know that the best is always yet to come.
Joshua 17 shows that the people of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the Canaanites. They focused on their inabilities and forgot God’s promise. We all fail to obey God, but through Jesus Christ, we can trust in the future He has secured for us. With this Gospel of Grace, we are free to risk what we “cannot do” in faithful obedience to God.
God promises us rest and peace in faithful obedience to His Word. The challenge of the human heart is trust in those promises. We tend to think that we can find rest and fulfilment by doing the things we want to do and fear following God will bring us heartache and disappointment. How can we come to a place of trusting in the promises of God? Only through the goodness of God in the perfect obedience of His Son Jesus Christ.
