Putting Jesus in context of Jewish history
Paul give a history lesson that leads to the resurrection of Christ. In this message he quotes Habakkuk 1:5
“‘Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would never believe,
even if someone told you.’
So where do we stand? Is God doing something unbelievable in our own lives? Paul says
"I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.
Paul highlights that we can't obtain perfection! God's standards; we need a Saviour and His name is Jesus. I'm amazed as I'm reminded at Christmas time that God came to earth as a baby; a non-threatening creature; for you and for me. Then at Easter I'm reminded that our sins of jealousy and pride had the power to murder Him yet He rose again to free us of such sins!
Lord Jesus, thank You for coming to earth; even though You were rejected we needed You. Please work in and through us in unbelievable ways for Your Kingdom's sake. Amen
