Christians aren’t taught to have faith in faith. We’re taught to have faith in Jesus. God turns our faces upward toward his. Our repentance is a 180, not a 360. We are brought to the living God. To a living mediator. To a glorious hope rooted in a glorious Savior who is himself literally our faith. Our great hope is seeing God in all his fulness face to face one day. Matthew 5:8.
During his life, Jesus’ obedience to the Law was astounding. It honors him therefore today and he honored it. I want to talk to you about the Jesus the Bible’s writers knew. The one they are zealous for anyone to know. I want you to know this Jesus who was both actively obedient to the Law and passively obedience in all things. May God bless you as you listen.
