  • A Covenant that Only Condemns Us

    A Covenant that Only Condemns Us
    Mar 2 2026
    Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 42—especially explaining how the Covenant of Works can only kill us; for salvation, we need Christ, and His Covenant of Grace. Q42. Why can none be saved through the covenant of works? Because all have broken it, and are condemned by it. The lesson establishes that no one can be saved through the covenant of works because all humanity, represented by Adam, has broken it through sin, resulting in universal condemnation and death. Rooted in Romans 5:12, it emphasizes that the covenant of works only declares judgment—death and hell—making salvation impossible within its framework. In contrast, Jesus, as the new and last Adam, stands outside this covenant, but has paid its penalty for those united to Him. Through faith, believers are transferred from the condemned status of the first Adam into the righteous standing of Christ in the covenant of grace.

    Why does the Bridegroom now address the bride with such affection? Song of Songs 6:4–13 prepares us for the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these ten verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the Bridegroom is assuring the bride that she, and their relationship, have been fully restored. The devotional presents the restoration of intimacy between Christ and His bride in Song of Songs 6:4–13, illustrating the Lord's unwavering love, even after spiritual estrangement. Central to the message is the affirmation that Christ's affection for His church remains unchanged, as He reaffirms her beauty, purity, and unique worth, likening them to Jerusalem and Tirzah—symbols of divine glory and royal dignity. The passage emphasizes not only the restoration of personal affection and praise but also the full restoration of union and glory, where the church is exalted as the beloved, recognized and celebrated by all heavenly saints. Even in times of spiritual barrenness, Christ is portrayed as attentively watching for the first signs of revival, longing to return to His bride with joy and urgency, as His soul flies to her at the slightest indication of life. The devotional concludes with an invitation to embrace this assurance, to walk in renewed confidence, and to experience the deep joy of being seen, cherished, and restored by Christ, who delights in His church and invites others to behold her heavenly glory.

    A Heavy Message of Comfort
    Feb 28 2026
    What sort of book is Nahum? Nahum 1:1 prepares us for the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In this verse of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Nahum is divine Scripture that hangs the weight of certain judgment around the neck of Nineveh, and all the enemies of God. The book of Nahum delivers a solemn and weighty prophecy against Nineveh, portraying God's inevitable judgment on evil. Though Nineveh had previously repented in the days of Jonah, Nahum reveals that its sin has now reached a point of no return. The prophecy, given as a vision and later inscribed in Scripture, underscores that God's word is the ultimate authority for faith and life. The name Nahum, meaning 'comfort,' highlights the deep solace found in God's certain destruction of evil. The prophet's obscure origin emphasizes that true significance lies in divine appointment and faithful service. Ultimately, the message calls believers to take sin seriously, flee to Christ, and find lasting peace in the certainty of God's righteous judgment.
