All for your consideration.
The goal of all evil creatures is to pull creation down as much as possible toward nonexistence. But the task is futile. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” God’s creatures did not create themselves or each other. In the end, they cannot uncreate.
In every way, Jesus lived out the beauty and integrity the law was meant to produce, revealing what true humanity looks like under God’s reign. So this Summer, as we study the Ten Commandments, recognize that we are putting our finger on the very pulse of our Savior’s heart. The law matters like a sunrise—we are invited to admire it, and to admire the God who reveals himself through it.
Christ established the foundation of his church through the definitive work of the apostles, who then set up a structure of overseers who would steward the apostolic foundation. Apostolicity, then, is defined by our faithfulness to the apostolic doctrine, structure, and mission.
The glory of the cross is not that people get to escape hell and enjoy eternal comfort. The glory of the cross is that God saves. Salvation is about God before it is about us.
