God’s love for a rebellious and already condemned world is most clearly displayed in His willingness to send His one and only Son—the eternal Word—to bear our condemnation on the cross, so that we might become children of God.

We can live and worship in joy even in lowliness dishonor because Jesus us into his honor.

The Prince of Peace bore our anguish and gloom so we might have peace.

When it appears that all hope is lost and God's promises seem cut down, hoe rises even from a stump --- because God keeps His covenant and brings His Spirit-empowered King.

Jesus frees us so we can be instruments through whom He frees others.

Christ calls and enables us to be ready for his coming.

True blessing and safety are found only by taking refuge in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son-King whom God has enthroned over all and who turns our rebellion into joyful worship.

In Isaiah 59–60 we see that Jesus, the Light of the world, has risen to redeem His people from darkness so that, in the new heavens and new earth, all our work will shine forever as worship done in, to, and for Him.

Because Jesus is the Source of our work, He is also the Savior of our work...redeeming all we do that is done to, for, and in Him.

Jesus, the risen Lord and life-giving Spirit, breathes His resurrection life into our labor!
