May the mumbling commence!
I think it is time for a series of “boast posts”. Though it is not right to boast about myself or my family or my church, it is more than right to boast about my God. Today, I boast about the unlimited access that God gives me… gives us as followers of the Way of Christ. Read from Romans chapter five (NRSV):
Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. (Verses 1-2)
We boast in our faith. That’s right our faith. By it we are justified.
By faith in the Lord Jesus, we have peace with God. We have that peace because we have obtained access to that amazing grace of our Lord God… and contained in that grace is hope.
We have hope of sharing in the glory of God. And we boast about it – hoping to attract others to this wonderful life of faith lived through Jesus. And the glory of God is awesome to behold.
What other god has shown itself to be alive? What other god has taken human form and shown us the Way to live? What other god has been willing to sacrifice itself for our well being? How great is our Lord!
Boast it loud! Boast it proud! And, through the work of Jesus, we have hope to share in the greatness of that glory.
Praise God!
Enough mumbling (boasting) for now…
Peace Out
