The
Lord. Who laid the foundation of the earth.” (Job 38:4) Is the
Author and Giver of life. Who governs all things by His Word. His wisdom
and power. Are beyond our understanding. Except. As He reveals Himself in
the Incarnate Word, Christ Jesus. He has “entered into the springs of the
sea.” And “walked in the recesses of the deep.” (Job 38:16), And He
draws near to you in mercy. Have you been “a long way from the land, beaten
by the waves?” Tossed about by
hostile winds? (Matthew 14:24).
Christ the Crucified Comes to Save
Us by the Word of Faith
1.
In our mortality and sinful unbelief, we do not always recognize the Lord
Jesus.
A. But as we cry out in fear, He speaks
tenderly to us: “Do not be afraid,” and He reaches out His hand to save
us. (Matthew 14:27, 31)
B. “Everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
2.
And now we call upon Him in faith.
A. Because we have heard “through the
word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17).
B. “The word is near you, in your mouth
and in your heart” (Romans 10:8).
