Today I posted briefly on Ephesians 2:7 at Out of the Ordinary:
I love the purpose statements in scripture. (You know, the sentences with phrases like “so that,” or “in order that,” or even just “that.”) They give us the reasons for God’s acts. They help us piece together the big picture, or the whole story, of God’s work in history.

I’ll be doing fun summer things this week instead of blogging. I’ll be back to regular posting on Sunday with the Sunday’s hymn. And I’ll be posting at Out of the Ordinary on Friday.
Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 8:26PM Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet,
O trysting place where Heaven’s love and Heaven’s justice meet!
As to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was giv’n,
So seems my Savior’s cross to me, a ladder up to Heav’n.There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side
The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide;
And there between us stands the cross two arms outstretched to save
A watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave.Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess;
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by, to know no gain or loss,
My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.—Elizabeth Clephane
