When it all gets too much, when we fail, when we succeed, when we struggle. In all of it, the constant pattern of our lives should not be guilt, shame, or pride. Rather it should and must be our praise and worship of our great God.
Jesus takes the cross from a symbol of suffering and shame to one of beauty and freedom.
We are God’s dwelling place on earth and only by fixing our hearts and minds on Jesus can we persevere to the end.
Worship done God’s way was exemplified by Jesus the Messiah, who calls us to shape our worship after the pattern of his life.
We are to follow the example of our Lord as a people of compassion…
