Round the Sphere Again: It Is Finished

He Sits
“[I]t’s thrilling to think that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God.  His work is finished.  He accomplished all that was needful for our salvation (Sitting Is Good News by Kevin DeYoung).”

We Bring Nothing
“[T]he tax collector walked away justified because he ‘owned’ his spiritual poverty, copped to the bottomlessness of his need. He brought nothing to the table and therefore was ‘rich toward God’ (Nothing in My Hand I Bring by Jared Wilson).”

Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for my new sewing machine. It’s such a treat to have a machine that works the way I want it to when I want it too. I’m thankful that Amazon.ca now sells more things than books. There are some products I just can’t get locally, and Canadians don’t have all the options some of you have for online shopping, especially with free or inexpensive shipping, so when Amazon.ca adds products, I’m thankful. 

I’m thankful that it warmed up a bit. Life is much easier when the winter temperature is decent. Last week I dreaded walking the dogs. Today I can look forward to it because it’s a pleasant winter afternoon, and I thank God for that. 

I’m thankful for the Trinity. My reconciliation to God depends on God existing eternally as three distinct persons.

I’m thankful that God is sovereign and trustworthy. 

On the Trinity

A couple of previously posted resources on the doctrine of the Trinity: 

• Theological Term of the Week: Trinity. Be sure to check out the goodies under “Learn more.”
• Test your own understanding of the Trinity with a quiz on this biblical and historical doctrine. ( Answer key.)
