The Just and the Justifier

Our passage this weekend includes three words that are essential to understanding the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are theological terms that take us into three different realms of understanding and illustrate all that Christ accomplished for us in His life, death and resurrection, and they must be considered simultaneously. All three united together demonstrate, as we see in v.26, how God can be “just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” God has looked upon us in our great need and hopelessness, in all the dimensions of our sin, and provided, in Christ, a Savior who is all-sufficient for our need. I pray you will join us this weekend as we focus on our great Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now more than ever we need corporate worship. We need a place to gather with God’s people around the truth of His Holy Word and sing, pray and worship. To declare as the Psalmist, “I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” — Pastor Chad
