It is Finished! Victory in Jesus…

As John Piper has so beautifully declared of the cross:

The wisdom of God devised a way for the love of God to satisfy the wrath of God without compromising the justice of God.

This wisdom was on display on the cross when God’s Son was crucified, because there:

  • God’s Wrath was satisfied.

  • God’s Justice was uncompromised.

  • God’s Love was magnified.

  • God’s Grace was glorified.

  • God’s Mercy was exercised.

  • God’s Wisdom was exemplified.

  • And, God’s Glory was maximized!

It is no wonder then that the apostle Paul would say in Galatians 6:14, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ.” I pray to that this would be our source of glorying in this house “as long as this platform shall stand, and as long as this house shall be frequented by worshippers”.

 May the Holy Spirit empower your preaching and ministry this Resurrection Sunday!
