In Truth

Heb.2:18Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.”

Amazing Grace!

1 Pet. 2:21For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.” (emphasis added).

Acts 1:3 “During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.”

In Control

1 Cor.2:8 “But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.”

The rulers of this world did not know all along, that God was in control of every detail. Sometimes, because of the pain we feel at Gethsemane, we convince ourselves that God is not in control. Read the rest of this entry
