Christ the Firstfruits
We begin to be comfortable with our salvation and begin to think it is our due. But we were due nothing. We all deserve the lake of fire. Yet, we have a God who specializes in saving the seemingly unsaveable.
the seven years of famine...we will take this incident in history as an allegory giving a picture of greater truths
many of the trials and troubles we face are meant to teach us deeper and deeper confidence in Him alone.
It is time for us to return to the battles of yesteryear, when the enemy was Satan, the stakes were eternal, the captain was the Lord Jesus, and the victory was certain.
