• Christ’s Powerful Gift

  “You man think that you don’t deserve forgiveness after all you’ve done.  That’s exactly right.  No one deserves forgiveness.  If we deserved it, we wouldn’t need it.  That’s the point of grace.  On the cross, Jesus experienced the Hell we deserve, so that for eternity we can experience the Heaven we don’t deserve.”

  –Randy Alcorn, Heaven, p. 35

  Thank you Lord for your tremendous gift that you give to those who are called by your name.  I praise You that You have given us a hope and a future; a future that will never end in bliss.  A place where we will live, breathe, eat, drink, and be merry forever.  We can imagine it because you have revealed to us in Your Word what the New Earth will be like.  Thank you for blessings that go so deep that it brings us to our needs in humble adoration.  Thank God for His inexpressible goodness to those who are His children.
