Bible Verses: The King Rocks (Final Post)

This will post will officially wrap up our King Rocks series as we welcome a new series next week called "New" - a series intently focusing on the promises of God. I am so excited to wrap this one up and also to begin a new series. This series has been particularly moving due to what took place during the course of the series and it gives me comfort and peace to know that He never lets go. . . His love never fails. . . that on that tragic day he carried the sweet precious babies of his home where they no longer feel pain, sorrow, or fear. God does not evade the evil in the world, He saves in the midst of it, He rescues captives, He frees those in bondage, and because of that I myself have been set free. There is great darkness but do not fear as the Word says, "Those walking in darkness have seen a great light."

Passages taken from "Seasons" a publication of The Village Church

" A day is coming when these new hearts and lives will live in a world where the very light by which we see comes not from a star but from the presence of Christ. And then, there will be no more shards and splinters, but endless and perfect reflection of His glory and joy in His presence."

"We stand in front of the mirror each morning and prepare for the day. We brush our teeth, fix our hair and head out the door. We see ourselves clearly because of the light and the image in the glass. We leave the house confident about ourselves and the day ahead. Yet only through the light of Jesus Christ and the mirror of the Word of God do we see our new nature as His children, that gives lasting confidence in the days ahead. It is His presence that mends the reflection of God in us, fitting shards and splinters together into wholeness."

"Our error is not in yearning, but in the object of our desire. The deepest recess of our humanity longs for new. We so desperately seek to experience newness that we settle for caricatures of what we really want and need. God made us for far more than attaining new things; He made us to be made new and to have this newness shape and direct our identity and love."

May this series help us to see our need for the Savior, His place in our hearts and lives, and may it draw us somewhere new.
