Boundary-Crossing Generosity
The upside down Kingdom once again…
I get it, it's always the upside down Kingdom but this pokes me right in the eye. The world thinks God is only for the prestigious, He moves in condemnation, promotes exclusion, is religious. An encounter with God reveals He truly is love. Scandalous love, He completes us, fills us, meets every need; “God is divine, cosmic generosity that outruns our need and our want and our hope and our desire, to endow us with every good gift, most wondrously the gift of new possibility. “
This is beyond what we could imagine, His thoughts are not ours. With His love and generosity as our perfect example and foundation, He is calling us to include all that have been excluded all previous prejudice smashed at the cross. Covering all with His Holy Holy Holy blood.
I am alive. Thanks for posting these topics while I was down.
The defining mark of the Easter world is divine, cosmic generosity that outruns our need and our want and our hope and our desire, to endow us with every good gift, most wondrously the gift of new possibility.
This is such a great sentiment.
I also like how he distilled what salvation requires. The apostles taught and preached in the book of Acts that we are to believe in the One God sent. We are to believe that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead. It really is that simple. It opens a cosmic shift in our lives but we over complicate it.
@admin You were missed!
This is a Refreshing and beautiful sentiment. Yes it is sooo simple, why we complicate it is beyond my comprehension. Distills what salvation requires. Well said, he most definitely extracts the essence of what it takes to be saved. The most beautiful aspect is how Jesus does this in a very personal way for each of us. He knows us.
