Jesus as king gives himself up to the judgement under an unrighteous king to save sinners.
Jesus is the Son of God, the Suffering King.
We will value Jesus above all else when we truly see him as our suffering king.
We must be alert if we are to be ready for the return of Jesus.
When we set our eyes upon the cross, we will faithfully follow Jesus to the end no matter what persecution or difficulties we face.
We value gospel centrality because the gospel is the only means by which people are saved and the power by which people are sanctified. The truth of the gospel enables us to genuinely and joyfully do what is pleasing to God.
We have in God a refuge and strength that dispels our fears so that we can pursue new year’s resolutions for our good and God’s glory.
God as a promise keeper is affirmed in the arrival of Christ.
The faithful Lord God of Israel mercifully extends the forgiveness of sins so that you may serve him in peace without fear.
The gospel leads us from anxiety to adoration.
