BUT, by the Knowledge of the Good News…
Reflect on these words about the passion of the Lord Jesus:
Without the Good News, we are useless and vain;
without the Good News, we are not Christians;
without the Good News, all riches are poverty;
wisdom is folly before God; strength is weakness;
all human righteousness is condemned.But, by the knowledge of the Good News,
we are made children of God;
brothers of Jesus Messiah;
members of the fellowship of the saints;
inhabitants of the kingdom of heaven;
heirs of God with Jesus Messiah,
by whom the poor are made rich,
the feeble powerful,
fools wise,
sinners are justified,
the afflicted are consoled,
doubters are confirmed,
slaves are made free.
