+ Other tidbits:
-Cubs lose again--wait a minute; the point of having this blog was to talk about NEWS! Anyway, The Cards are in the bottom of the ninth tied at 2, thanks to a 2 run single by Scott Spiezio in the top of the ninth.
+ Bible verse reflection: 1 Corinthians 15:57
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
No one ever likes to hear the law in the sermon any more than a pastor likes to preach it. We don't want to hear that we are sinful people who are deserving of everlasting death. However, the truth is not always what we want to hear and this truth is something that we need to hear. To hear the truth of our sinfulness does enable us to really appreciate and hold firm to the sweet words of the Gospel--that we have VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus took the punishment that deserve by fulfilling the law perfectly, by dying on the cross and rising from the dead. What great reason to celebrate during this Easter season.
