Whats Your Passion?
July 19, 2018
[Nothing] will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:39
My coworker Tom keeps an 8″ by 12″ glass cross on his desk. His friend Phil, who like Tom is a cancer survivor, gave it to him to help him look at everything through the cross. The glass cross is a constant reminder of Gods love and good purposes for him.
Thats a challenging idea for all believers in Jesus, especially during difficult times. Its much easier to focus on our problems than on Gods love.
The apostle Pauls life was certainly an example of having a cross-shaped perspective. He described himself in times of suffering as being persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Corinthians 4:9). He believed that in the hard times, God is at work, achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen (vv. 1718).
To fix our eyes . . . on what is unseen doesnt mean we minimize the problems. Paul Barnett, in his commentary on this passage, explains, There is to be confidence, based on the certainty of Gods purposes for [us] . . . . On the other hand, there is the sober recognition that we groan with hope mingled with pain.
Jesus gave His life for us. His love is deep and sacrificial. As we look at life through the cross, we see His love and faithfulness. And our trust in Him grows.
Father, teach us who You are. Increase our trust in You. Fill our minds with Your perspective.
Look at everything through the cross.
Through the cross we see Gods loving payment for our sin. But it teaches us more. Jesuss suffering also exposed the nature and cruelty of our sin against Him and against humanity. He endured the worst we could do to Him to expose Satans lie that our Creator isnt as good as He says He is. He even suffered unimaginable wrongs to show us how to love those who hurt us.
What else does God want to teach us about cross-shaped love and what it can do in us and for others?

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hope you breezed through hump day.

Good evening, radu...how’s the heat issue. We are back into the 70s.
We are working through some sort of a problem trying to get checks printed. Waiting to hear the printer start up.
