Every Reason To Sing + Winter Update ❄️
There is nothing mediocre about Christ’s love for us!
“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing” (Zephaniah 3:17).
The gospel is good news that God pardons sinners and welcomes us through the blood of his Son Jesus. Anyone can get in on this by receiving Jesus with the empty hands of faith. As we receive Christ, we begin to change, and we begin to love him and enjoy him. But even greater than our love and enjoyment in him is the Lord’s love and enjoyment in us! What an amazing thought that the Lord of Mercy would actually delight in us! It is true. The one who lived for us, died for us, and raised for us, does not simply tolerate us as though we were a burden, he enthuses over us! He prefers us. He delights in us. He sets his affections on us! He sings over us!
And what happens when we hear the song of Christ’s love? We become a people who sing in return. His delight in us stirs up our delight in him. His joy over us awakens joy within us. The God who sings over his people creates a people who cannot help but sing his praises in return. There is nothing mediocre about Christ’s heart for us. And with a love that deep, we have every reason to sing!
