Man of Contrasts

He who is the Bread of Life began His ministry hungering. He who is the Water of Life ended His ministry thirsting. Christ hungered as a man, yet fed the hungry as God. He was weary, yet He is our rest. He paid tribute, yet He is the King. He was called a devil, but He cast out demons. He prayed, yet He hears prayer. He wept, and He dries our tears. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet He redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. He gave His life, and by dying He destroyed death.

Be ALL you SHOULD Be | Part 1: A DEFENCED CITY

Our victory isn’t in physical safety, it is in spiritual strength: we are victorious when God’s will is accomplished in us, not when we escape the travails/struggles of life.

And I come Smooth, cool sand squishing between my toes Anticipation of a promise that began with the first light. I wait Clouds covering first bright glimmer Excitement growing for what will surely become. My soul sings At first just specks of brilliant red and orange hues Alive, young and powerful they grow stronger. My heart rejoices A force so unrelenting pushes forth Past grayness of night and first affront of cloudy cover. My life is renewed As rays break through to combat the shadows of the night A light whose hands raise high in worship You are true …
