TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - AUGUST 5, 2020
Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at 10:07AM Be Blessed
Today is August 5, 2020
Welcome to August and your mid-week!
The blessings of the Old Testament are both a reminder of the hope that we have in Christ as well as a declaration of the inherit goodness of God.
Take the famous priestly blessing of Aaron to God's people in the book of Numbers:
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
Reading this blessing through the lens of Christ, we are reminded of our eternal security made possible by Christ's work on the cross, the great love that God has for us to give us salvation as a gift, and the peace we now have in Christ Jesus.
What they asked for, we received. What they wanted, we now have. Yes, in this broken world ravaged by sin, it is sometimes hard to see the hope that the Lord gives us, but this is why these blessing are important to look at and say out loud.
In Christ our eternity is secure. We are loved. Lift up your prayers to the Lord and find peace. This is the blessing that God gives us through Christ Jesus. This is how we are blessed.
God's protection upon you and your family and I look forward to worshiping with you all this Sunday.
