More than Conquerors!

How deep the Father's Love for us

 “I will not boast in anything,

No gifts, no power, no wisdom;

But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection”

Any gifts we have, any power, any wisdom should point us and others to Jesus Christ.  It all comes from the Father.  “Every good and perfect gift is from above.”(James 1:17)  It’s “Christ in us, the Hope of Glory.”  (Colossians 1:27) The irony, that Christ uses our gifts to point others to Himself and not the other way around. 

We are imperfect, and so are our gifts.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away. (1 Corinthians 12:9-10)

It all begins and ends with Jesus Christ.  He’s the Alpha and the Omega, The beginning and the End. Whatever measure He uses us in this Life, it’s all to His Glory. 

Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly!”  He always bears witness to the power of life over death!

And at the Cross he conquered sin and death once and for all!   “At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.…” (Matthew 27:51-52)

What can we say, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us!”  (Romans 8:37)
