Pulpit Today

Understand His greatness—the God of creation takes the sun in His right hand and the moon in His left and, without diminishing the brightness of one, nor darkening the reflection of the other, He transcends them both. This is Christ, unconfined by eternity nor circumscribed by the cosmos.  He is the Creator, Sustainer, and Savior of all.  And this God who dwells outside of time appeared as a man in the “fullness of times.”  The Divine Creator who formed galaxies with His spoken word now employs His hands to fashion works from wood.  He sweats, He tires, His muscles ache.  And what does He make—a mansion, a palace, a throne?  No, this Carpenter crafts His work on a cross.  And when His work is complete He is crucified on it.  Then, He returns to eternity . . . with sons of righteousness in one hand and reflections of His glory in the other.
