The consuming fire of God's Love and Light is seen by unbelief as the hellish intensity of Divine Wrath, but by faith as the heavenly passion of Christ's Cross.

Those who doubt the divinity of Jesus are often quick to deny His work in people's lives today. By fearing that Christian faith is folly, they fall into the iron grip of unbelief, a mountain that, ironically, only faith in Christ can remove.

The only way God could get any closer to humanity than by taking upon Himself our human flesh was to take upon Himself our human sins.

There's no greater affirmation to our humanity than the Bethlehem manger, no greater demonstration of God's love for us than the Cross of Calvary, no greater proclamation of human hope than the empty tomb of Jesus Christ.

May we constantly remember, before our God and Father, your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. ~Amen~

If human hearts allowed God to rule as He rules the universe, His kingdom would come and His will would be done on earth as it is in heaven.
