Trust in Christ Alone

A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR

D.A. Carson in his book, God With Us, said,

 “So often Christians want to establish their ‘greatness’ with reference to their work, their giving, their intelligence, their preaching, their gifts, their courage, their discernment. But Jesus unhesitatingly affirmed that even the least believer is greater than Moses or John the Baptist, simply because of his or her ability, living on this side of the coming of Jesus the Messiah, to point him out with greater clarity and understanding than all his forerunners ever could. If we really believe this truth, it will dissipate all cheap vying for position [in this world] and force us to recognize that our true significance lies [simply] in our witness to the Lord Jesus Christ."

This should serve as an incredible encouragement to us believers as we seek to make Christ known to all, regardless of the circumstances. Ultimately, Jesus is worthy of our trust. We fight doubt and criticism and unmet expectations with the trust and hope that is in Christ and Christ alone.
