As I have begun reading the bookends of the Christian Life, I was freshly struck about the obedience of our Savior Jesus. Bridges says, "The obedient death of Christ is the very apex of the righteousness of Christ." (p.23)
Jesus death on the cross shows His love for His Father and for us. He willingly endured pain, suffering, wrath and being forsaken for me. He did this so that I could have fellowship with God and stand in His obedient righteousness and not my own.
This allows me to come humbly to God with a confidence not from me, but from Christ to worship, adore, honor and love the Father. To cultivate my relationship with Him.
I need to be reminded of this daily! Thanks be to God!
