One of the many things Christ was doing at the cross was forgiving my sins and removing God’s punitive wrath from my vision. God’s wrath has been forever lifted off of my vision so that I can love the spiritual beauty of Christ. It’s the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. This glory is first and foremost the humble love of Christ. As I adore the humble love of Christ I become more and more like it. As Christ humbled Himself under the mighty hand of God I desire to do likewise. I no longer have to worry about God’s punitive wrath. My faith is in Christ and the Father’s sovereign control and holiness. I trust that He will work all my circumstances together for my good. As a result anxiety and frustrations are lifted. I want to follow the example of Christ and love with a humble love. For it pleases me to help others. It glorifies God when I help others and God is pleased when glorified. And it ultimately brings joy to others when they are helped and loved.
Amen
