We Love God!

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

The greatest and best man in the world must say, By the grace of God I am what I am, but God says absolutely... 'I am that I am.'
Matthew Henry

We are not encouraged to forsake our sin by having our senses amused or our preferences coddled. The Gospel is inherently and irreducibly confrontational. It cuts against our perceived righteousness and self-sufficiency, demanding that we forsake cherished sin and trust in someone else to justify us. Entertainment is therefore a problematic medium for communicating the Gospel, because it nearly always obscures the most difficult aspects of it – the cost of repentance, the cross of discipleship, the narrowness of the Way. Some will disagree, arguing that drama can give unbelievers a helpful visual image of the Gospel. But we have already been given such visual images. They are the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and the transformed lives of our Christian brothers and sisters (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

41:1 ¶ Bienheureux celui qui comprend le pauvre! Au mauvais jour, l’Éternel le délivrera.

41:2 L’Éternel le gardera, et le conservera en vie: il sera rendu heureux sur la terre, et tu ne le livreras point à l’animosité de ses ennemis.

41:3 L’Éternel le soutiendra sur un lit de langueur. Tu transformeras tout son lit, quand il sera malade.

41:4 J’ai dit: Éternel! use de grâce envers moi, guéris mon âme, car j’ai péché contre toi.

41:5 ¶ Mes ennemis me souhaitent du mal: Quand mourra-t-il? Quand périra son nom?

41:6 Et si l’un vient me voir, il dit des paroles de fausseté; son coeur amasse par devers lui l’iniquité;… il sort dehors, il en parle.

41:7 Tous ceux qui me haïssent chuchotent ensemble contre moi; ils imaginent du mal contre moi:

41:8 Quelque oeuvre de Bélial est attachée à lui, et maintenant qu’il est couché, il ne se relèvera plus.

41:9 Mon intime ami aussi, en qui je me confiais, qui mangeait mon pain, a levé le talon contre moi.

41:10 Et toi, Éternel! use de grâce envers moi et relève-moi, et je le leur rendrai.

41:11 A ceci je connais que tu prends plaisir en moi, c’est que mon ennemi ne triomphe pas de moi.

41:12 Et moi, tu m’as maintenu dans mon intégrité, et tu m’as établi devant toi pour toujours.

41:13 Béni soit l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, de l’éternité jusqu’en éternité! Amen, oui, amen!
