I'm a wretch, who, by His glorious grace, has been adopted by the God of the universe. Praise Jesus from coming in the flesh and dying on the cross for the sins of the world to redeem fallen humanity to God. I'm seeking God in all I do, trying to be led by the Spirit-- seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness.
The fulfillment of his desires did not come from worldly ambition, [nor] from his own religious efforts. He learned to be satisfied on the fatty ashes of Christ’s sacrifice.” — John Crowder speaking of the apostle Paul, who was content in all things. “…Be satisfied in His house today. Paul understood that he lacked nothing. He found the source of his bliss and his fulfillment in Christ… It’s all by faith. That means simply trust… [It] is not striving, it’s not contending, it’s not pressing in…. [It] is rest. IT means to trust in someone who has accomplished something for us. His work was enough to satisfy you completely. Christ has become our Sabbath rest.
John Crowder, The Jesus Trip, “Complacent for Jesus”.
