God, in His infinite wisdom & knowledge, uses events & people to accomplish His will. In His grace & love, He can use even what may appear to be bad circumstances to save His people. As death came through man, so also through one man, Christ Jesus, comes life. As we live our lives in response to the Gospel, Jesus exhorts us to love our enemies, to do good to those who hate, to pray for those who abuse, not to judge, and to turn the other cheek. (Psalm 37:1-5, 7; Genesis 45:3-15; 1 Corinthians 15:21-26, 30-42; Luke 6:27-38)

Throughout the sojourning of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob & Moses, the Lord delivered judgment & promise, signs & wonders, terror & restoration. This prophetic lineage of faithfulness culminated in Christ, whose divine faithfulness is unblemished. He is without fault, being wholly the servant of man & the Son of God. The church bears witness ot God’s legacy of faithfulness witnessed through Moses, Elijah and Jesus. Together, we confess Jesus to be the Son of God, to whom we must listen. (Psalm 84:1–2, 4, 9, 11; Deuteronomy 34:1-12; Hebrews 3:1-6; Luke 9:28-36)

Great paradox defines the confession of the church. Christ is sinless yet becomes sin. We are guilty yet declared innocent. We are dying & yet we live. We are punished yet we are not killed. Repentance is that intersection of faith - knowing that we deserve death but are gifted with life. Broken & restored hearts are grounded in the treasure of Christ’s forgiveness, which reveals the mercy of God. “Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious & merciful.” (Joel 2:12-19; 2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10; Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21)

Believers who confess the name of Jesus strive against evil assaults that distort God-given truths. In the church, the Word of God prevails as it is proclaimed, confessed & believed. The Word, on Jesus’ own lips, repels the onslaught of Satan, who, in the midst of Jesus’ anguish, asserts false claims & authority. As we witness the clash between Satan & Jesus, we cling to His own words with heart, mind & voice: “You shall worship the Lord your God . . .” (Psalm 91:9–13, 15–16; Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13)
