Jesus, uniquely and exclusively, is our all-sufficient Savior.
Main Idea: Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein He pardons all our sins, and accepts us as righteous in His sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone.
Grace, is the unmerited and even demerited favor of God toward sinners who are by nature under a sentence of condemnation—and by this (alone!) we are saved.
The inspired, inerrant, sufficient Word of God is our ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice.
The resurrection of Jesus is not merely an event to remember; the resurrected Jesus is a person to meet.

This Advent season, as we wait and long for Jesus' second coming, we're reminded that Jesus has come to dwell in the hearts of His people, through faith, by His Spirit.
Be encouraged because at the Second Coming you will be re-united forever with your loved ones who have passed, who also loved Jesus.
Jesus, the gentle and lowly Savior, invites you to come to Him in repentance and humility and receive rest for your soul.

Part of what it means to be an actual follower of Jesus, is to spend meaningful time with those who are not yet following Jesus.
Today's passage challenges us to consider the extent of Jesus' authority. How far does it truly reach? In the Gospel of Matthew, we have witnessed Jesus demonstrating His authority in various ways: through His teaching, healing sickness and disease, calming the wind and sea, and casting out demons. But the question remains: does Jesus also possess the authority to forgive sins?
You need to know who Jesus is and you need to respond to who Jesus is.
Psalm 12 teaches us what to do when, as Christians, we feel alone *in* and encompassed *by* the world.
When tempted to flee, run away, or escape, as Christians we're to remember where God is, remember what He sees, and remember what He will do.
Praise Jesus, the righteous judge of all and a stronghold for those who trust in Him.
