Everything, all things, must come back to one truth. The gospel truth. All things must be held up to the gospel and whatever doesn't line up must and will fall away. Only one truth speaks all truth. The gospel truth.
...lately I've been thinking A LOT about the gospel. I can look back and see how God has been uprooting shadows of the truth of the gospel from the soil of my heart in order to sew the seeds of the truth of the gospel. And the thing is, before this year, I thought I got it. I thought I knew the gospel...and it was sort of...an old hat. But look at how the Lord can make things new!
In particular, I can look back at the study of Sonship I took part in this summer during CityLights. In my naivity and pride, I know I thought to myself, "Yeah, I get it. I understand," as we talked about Jesus, who he is, who we are, and why he came. ...Over the past 7 months, God uprooted that pride, and I, newly humbled began to understand that, "we [I] can never outgrow the gospel" and its truth.
It's as if God has shifted me somewhere at the core with this, like a rudder on a boat. It's an internal change that's affecting everything I do, say, and believe. It's so good. I rejoice because it's so good. Thank you Jesus.
