2 Corinthians: Going from Too Lightly to Awe and Wonder

We have a tendency to take things so lightly at times. Then someone comes along and reminds us of how significant the gospel is, how crucial it is that we live it out for those around us, and how we can get power to do that. We will listen to the Apostle Paul remind us of these things from 2 Corinthians and cause us to feel an awe and wonder at what we sometimes treat too lightly.

Hebrews: In Awe of Christ

The Christian is right to be in awe of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is not only God, eternal, and glorious... He also is human and that aspect of Him is so important to understand as we trust in Him and relate to Him. Actually this Hebrews text tells us in a powerful way how He relates to us, understands us, and is able to be sympathetic to us when we are in trials and temptations... Halleluah, what a Savior!!!
