Believing by faith that Jesus is the Christ who suffered for our sins and bore our shame on the cross; we are, as His disciples, to take up His life and His gospel, courageously bearing His shame in this life, in the confidence of the glory to come.
Our only standing before God is by His grace, though faith in Jesus Christ who has done all things well; even making us hear and speak by the power of His gospel.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we call people to repentance and faith in His gospel and face the same rejection and unbelief that He did, knowing that Jesus who atoned for our sin has the authority to forgive sin.
Jesus, pure in righteousness, entered this impure world in order to save His people from their sin, so that by faith in Him we can be purified to be with Him forever.
Jesus calms the raging sea and calms the raging demons to save his disciples from perishing and to place us in our right mind, so that we would tell the world the great things He has done for us.
