Subject: What do you like about the church? |
Bible Note: I will say “Amen” to that and turn this reserved statement into a full positive. God is in control, and God is doing a wonderful thing. Forgive me if I am repeating myself in quoting Psalm 118:23, but this is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. In the church, God who did the miracle of creation, is doing a million miracles today. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”. It took a miracle, to put the stars in place It took a miracle, to hang the worlds in space But when he saved a soul, cleansed and made it whole It took a miracle of love and grace And God is still saving people, all the time, and in that way he is building his church. And he is building it on his Son, Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:18). Jesus is the first Stone, the Corner Stone, and we also as lively stones are being added to it (1Pe 2:5). He gives us also the privilege of bringing others into it. We cannot save them, but we, and the Holy Spirit, working together, can bring them to him. Meanwhile, it is God who works in us both to will and to do this for his pleasure. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. |
