Prompted by prolonged famine, King David sought the Lord for an explanation. Once he received it, though, he sought human counsel for the cure. The result was heartbreaking devastation, particularly for one family. Alistair Begg explains that while the world we live in is beautiful, it can also be harsh and cruel-a fact that, as Christians, we must confront. King David's endeavors to deal with sin and brokenness were totally inadequate, as are our own. In Jesus, however, we have a perfect King in whom God's just wrath has been fully satisfied.

October 31, 2022: The Gospel Is the Power of God

What does it mean to love one's neighbor- Luke 10 records how Jesus answered this question with a story about a Samaritan who helped a robbed and injured man. Alistair Begg reminds us that while the unexpected and sacrificial actions of the Samaritan are not presented as the way to life, they are nevertheless, for those who trust in Christ, evidence that we have truly been born again. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit can believers truly love our neighbor as ourselves.

The Great Commandment — Part Two

When Jesus issued the Great Commandment-to love the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself-He wasn't reducing the Ten Commandments to two. Rather, He was teaching that all of God's law hangs on those two concerns. Alistair Begg walks us through the role of the law in the believer's life, explaining that when the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with God's love, then we'll follow His rules-not to receive rewards or avoid penalties but because we love Him.
