We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The Rabbis spoke from authority, Jesus with authority. Those who heard Him 'were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes' (Mark 1:22). C.H. Dodd renders 'He taught them like a sovereign, and not like the Rabbis'... Justin Martyr [said], 'His word was power from God.' 'Thus says the Lord' is typical of the Old Testament, but Jesus' characteristic expression is 'Truly, truly, I say to you.' The difference is significant. Jesus appealed to no other authority as He spoke to men of the deep things of God.

I think of Peter after He denied the Lord. The Bible says, “He went out and wept bitterly” (Lk. 22:62). Psalm 38:18, “For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.” Jeremiah 31:18, “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained calf; bring me back that I may be restored, for You are the LORD my God.’” In the Beatitudes our Lord said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Mt. 5:4). In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul spoke of a “godly sorrow.” In the depths of your relationship with God have you ever experienced this? When we sin against God we should experience our most intense grief. In verse 3 of Psalm 6, David speaks of His soul being “greatly dismayed.”
