I love it when God takes a day and through it winds together a constant message. A message especially for me. I listened to two sermons today, both laced with the same scripture, both gripping my heart afresh with truths I have known for a long time. Seeing though scripture men who "walked with God" and learned to hear his voice. Am I learning to hear and recognize his voice?
Dr. Don Carson made a profound statement at the end of his sermon tonight after preaching about the ironies of the crucifixion. "Jesus exclaimed, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' on the cross so that for all eternity, no matter what life brings, I will never have to say that." For that moment he knew the full wrath of God, so that I will never have to. The substitutionary death of Jesus and everything that means for me struck a chord once again. That God would have mercy. On me.
