“Savior: He Gives Us Victory” |
|
It seems like every day, we want to “come out on top”, to be “victorious”, to “win”. But how many days do we feel “defeated”? How many days are there when, no matter how hard we try to handle everything, we end up stumbling and failing? It’s days like these that reveal just how “weak” we really are. Yet, as we conclude our Lenten series, “Savior”, we hear St. Paul declare that “we are more than conquerors.” We are not just winners; we are hyper-victors! How can that be when we spend so many of our days in a “losing” position because of our sin? Because of the One who rides into Jerusalem, humble and lowly, riding into Jerusalem in order to secure our “victory”… by dying on a cross. Through Jesus, who loved us so much that He gave up His life for us, we have been given “victory” over sin, death and the power of the devil! |

The Reason for God - Week 6 |
|
|
|
St. Peter tells us: "Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you..." (1 Peter 3:15, ESV) Would you be able to "make a defense" if someone asked you to stand up for Christianity?
