Contemplation

This week, I heard of a fellow pastor who just heard that he has cancer. His son, at the age of 45, passed away suddenly from a heartattack leaving a loving wife and three children. The youngest is a senior in Highschool. I heard just today that the wife of a young pastor in our state lost her dad suddenly. The frailty of the human condition is evident all around us. The curse of sin upon Adam's race is clearly seen and heard everwhere we turn. What is amazing is that God took pity upon us, and sent His Son, Jesus to be our sin sacrfice. Jesus paid the price for our forgiveness and redemption. Through Him we have access into God's presence, eternal life, and a hope that stands even in the midst of difficult life storms. His resurrection insures the sureity of our redemption. In life there will be troubles. But Jesus is the overcomer. In Him we are more than conquerors!
