Day 256: Proverbs 21-22; 2 Corinthians 4
by Jonathan Merki on September 12th, 2023
We do not give up...From the beginning to the end of Paul's conversation in 2 Corinthians 4, we are reminded why we don't give up...it is because of God's mercy, because of His presence in these 'jars of clay', because He chooses to work in and through us in the midst of opposition and aging showing us His face, because of the incredible hope of eternity, the heavenly weight of glory that far exce...  Read More

by Jonathan Merki on September 9th, 2023
He has also put his seal on us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a down payment. (2 Corinthians 1:22, CSB)He Who made us in His image (imago Dei) and made us for Himself (permanent, intimate relationship) has restored us to Himself (through Christ our Propitiation - Romans 3:23-26), has put His authoritative seal (signet ring) on us declaring we belong to Him and has put His Holy Spirit wit...  Read More
