Broken but Holy God buys broken things. That is a powerful truth at the heart of redemption through the blood of Christ (cf. Ephesians 1.7). This world is broken, cracked, shattered. Tune in to the nightly news if you doubt the fallenness of humanity. Witness the violence, bloodshed, deceit, and sin people commit. But God sent Jesus into the world to live sinlessly and die brutally because He loves humanity. By the blood of Jesus God ransoms lost souls from sin, death, and hell.

I have heard, though I have been unable thus far to verify the validity of it, that Israel carried both the second set of stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments as well as the original stone tablets which Moses threw upon the ground and broke when he comes down from Mount Sinai and saw the sinful activity of the people of God. They carried both sets to show that God cares about a shattered world and accepts people who are broken. “He made us accepted in the Beloved” (Ephesians 1.6, NKJV). Hear the mighty truth of this quotation. God accepted even us imperfect men and women because of Jesus.

Make no mistake about this, though. This is not cheap grace and costless discipleship. Note the kindness and severity of the Lord: kindness that we broken, flawed children of dust are accepted in Christ Jesus; severity toward us should we fail to pursue holiness. Read your Bible and this truth is unmistakable. He Who bids us to “Come unto me all you weary and heavy-laden” also says “Unless you repent you too shall likewise perish.” Therefore, brethren, desire to be more spiritual, more holy, more single-minded, more heavenly-focused, more wholehearted in following hard after God. Only by pursuing holiness can we truly be whole – mind, body, and soul.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Thomas O. Chisholm

Great is Thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
And all I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer
And to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord every morning new mercies I see
And all I have needed Thy hands hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
