The law served as a guardian until Christ came.

The law is a deterrent.

The law convicts us of sin.

The law shows us how to live.

The law ultimately reminds us that we need a Savior.

And the law reminds us that we are all one in Christ.  For we all are sinners in need of His grace!

Christ took our curse!  He became cursed so that we might not be cursed.  He was forsaken so that we might not ever be forsaken.

As Christ lived, so shall we live!

Evidence for the Resurrection

Ultimately, each person must decide!

David celebrates God's attributes of: steadfast love, faithfulness, righteousness, and justice.

Because of those attributes those who "take refuge in the shadow of his wings" experience satisfaction, joy, life, and light.

Keep your eyes on the cross!

What a difference a week makes!

At the beginning of the week Jesus is celebrated, but by the end of the week he is crucified and then comes resurrection and ultimate victory!

What will you do with Jesus who is called the Christ?

The Church has often been plagued with Legalism on one extreme and Hypocrisy on the other.

The solution is to learn that we are all saved by faith alone and even that faith is a gift from God.

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good (v. 8)

Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, (v. 9)

God is good; but God must also be revered!

To quote Mr. Beaver in C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe,"  "'Course he isn't safe.  But he's good.  He's the King, I tell you."

Bless the Lord at all times!  Praise the Lord continually!

The Gospel is not the invention of humankind but a revelation from God through Jesus.

If humankind had invented it, it wouldn't have lasted.

Besides we would never have made up such a Gospel.

Further, if we had made it up, it wouldn't change us.
