Good Friday: Jesus Paid the Price

There will be no poor among you’ states the ideal situation. This is a statement that God is giving to the church today.

Exodus 35:4-5
Philippians 4:17
2 Corinthians 9:6-8

In the three portions of scripture that we have just read:
Exodus 35:4-5 – giving for the Tabernacle (church building)
Philippians 4:17 – giving for missions
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 – the right attitude of giving: cheerful giving

Jesus is the Master story of our life. He knows the plot. He develops you through trials and triumphs. Even delays and detours are part of His chapter design.

Deuteronomy 7:9 which says, ‘Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.’

The glory of God is one of the most profound themes in the Bible: mysterious, powerful, and central to understanding God’s character and presence.

Exodus 33:14 says, ‘And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
