HIDDEN THINGS REVEALED

"Nothing rejoices the heart of the Lord Jesus so much as the progress of the gospel, and its getting ground of Satan, by the conversion of souls to Christ!"Our Lord inwardly rejoiced, with a holy and spiritual joy, in the prospect of the extensive success of the gospel, the salvation of souls, and the glory which would redound to God. "He has not entrusted this task to the prudent and the wise but to the simple, foolish, uneducated … The simple tidings of Christ's message were hidden from the proud and self-sufficient Pharisees and scribes, but they were revealed to babes, that is, to the humble and unlearned who received them gladly." NOTES FROM PASTOR TIM,The particularization of the gospel: general revelation - the law - the Gospel of Christ, has simply made it easier and easier to be found and reconciled to God.We are the beneficiaries of God’s plan to put His mercy dead in front of our faces. This Gospel, too simple for the complex to understand; too straightforward for the twisted minds of the self sufficient to grasp; but to the babes to whom it has been revealed and have received it with joy, it is the power of God unto salvation!TEXT: LUKE 10:21-24SONGS: NEW NAME IN GLORY, AUSTIN MILESHIS NAME IS JESUS, JEREMY RIDDLETO GOD BE THE GLORY, FANNY CROSBYI SPEAK JESUS, KINGS PORCH
