D.A. Carson - He loved me and gave Himself for me.
The Gospel revealed through the interactions between Peter and Paul on clean and unclean food.
Spurgeon: “Christ First, Me Last - Nothing Between but Love"
Oh how we must preach the gospel to ourselves day in and day out just to be reminded of how Christ loves us and gave Himself for us! All so that we realize the depth of our sin, the cost of the cross, and hope of salvation in Christ Jesus. I've come to realize that genuine change is heavily dependent on a constantly increasing understanding of Christ's love for me. Oh how deep and never-ending are Your mercies and graces. How inadequately I reflect your love, how quickly I'm to forget, how easily I am lead astray by my evil desires. How is it that in my acts of harlotry, you remain my Redeemer constantly pursuing me and pointing me back to the Cross? There's only one word for it. Love.
