Follow-up to 25.

I probably wasn't as clear in that post about one point. That point being, Christ is not concerned primarily with the salvation of souls. He is much more concerned with His own Glory, and the honor of the Name of the Father. He receives glory by saving, and He receives glory by executing wrath. He is the King, and this is His right. (In fact, anyone who dre complain about this is a rebel and a traitor, and deserves His wrath.)

(In other words, it isn't about us at all, it is all about Him! Our role is to glorify Him, whether as a member of His body, the Church, or as a testimony of the righteousness of His wrath.)

People do not like hearing that Jerry..it runs contrary to the theology of today that God made men and saved them because he was lonely or because we deserve it..
