After spending four chapters telling us we should not boast about what we have done or accomplished, Paul now tells us to boast... but we boast about our standing with Jesus Christ. Paul wants his readers to know that because of the access they have gained they now stand in a place that has spiritual perks and promises that allow us to approach our trials and suffering differently. Our gained access to Christ impacts our navigating through suffering.

After establishing that everyone is sinful, both the Jewish and Gentile converts, Paul tells them that justification, or being declared righteous in God's sight, is not achieved through adherence to the Law, but through faith, as Abraham demonstrated. Abraham entrusted himself to God and was counted as righteous. His spiritual descendants, not only Jews, but also Gentiles, are now unified through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Jewish and Gentile Christians in Rome were both hanging their hats on their rituals, law keeping, and heritage. In the middle of their dispute Paul in Romans 3:23-26 reminds them that their law keeping is not what brings them value but rather their common need of Jesus Christ. They are both united in the fact that they are sinners in need of Savior. What brought the Christians in Rome value is what brings us value, not our knowledge of the laws and our heritage but rather that we have been loved by God through Jesus and "HE not me" is what gives value and the power to unite.

One of the real challenges we face in life is becoming so comfortable with where we are spiritually that we begin to see our behaviors as the standard for righteousness.  Our blindness to our own deficiencies can cause us to have a false sense of righteousness and to look down upon others, condemning them, as though God needed our help. In Romans 2, Paul uses his rhetorical skills to stun us into the reality that sin reveals itself in unexpected ways and that we are all in need of spiritual rescue.

In Paul’s letter to the Romans he shares from his own experiences that a lot of the problems we might have in life are the result of an “me-centric religion.” In chapter one, Paul reminds Christians of the power and rescue that is a made available to them through Christ. When we take hold of His power, Christ transforms the way we see the world, ourselves, and other people, leading us to be unashamed of the gospel, and even giving up our human passions. Join us Sunday as we see how the gospel of Christ is not just the way we begin our Christian life, but the gospel is the way for us to grow IN our Christian life.

The church in Antioch was diverse culturally, economically, and socially. Yet all these different people that made up the church united around the mission of God and spread the gospel out throughout the world. Today, we’re going to learn from the church in Antioch, how we too can be partners in the progress of bringing Jesus to the nations. As we partner with God’s mission, we also find ourselves being transformed into more worshipful and trusting people.

Like Martha we sometimes ask a variation of the question “Jesus, where were you when _________ happened?” Like Martha we all have a Lazarus. A Lazarus can be anything in our life that we really love or hold onto that we desperately need Jesus to bring to life. In our text today, Jesus gives us a picture of who He is in the middle of our disappointment and what he does through the thing that we thought was long gone and without hope. As we will read in the text, Jesus goes into the ring with death and because of that, resurrection is not just a past or a future hope but it’s a present reality. Today Jesus can bring hope in the hurt.
