TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - MARCH 30, 2022
Wednesday, March 30, 2022 at 9:10AM The Cross of Exchange
Today is March 30, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
What is the joy of being a Christian?
The joy is that our shame changes to self-worth; how I am a child of God no matter what I do nor what is done to me.
The joy of is that our fear changes to courage; how even if this body is destroyed, I know my eternity is secure.
The joy is that our disgrace changes to glory,
our discouragement changes to hope,
our anxiety changes to confidence, and
our guilt changes to freedom.
That is the joy of being a Christian.
And that joy is only possible because an exchange took place on the cross. On the cross our garment of sin was exchanged for Jesus' garment of righteousness. On the cross a royal crown was exchanged for a crown of thorns.
And that act of love - to pay the penalty of our sin so that we can become, in Christ, the righteousness of God - is why we worship. It is the reason why - no matter what happens in this world - we can still come together and sing praises to our King.
All because of that exchange that took place on the cross.
God's blessing upon you as you meditate on Jesus and the exchange that took place on that cross, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
