Sin in so sinful because it disobeys God's Word, rejects God's character, surpasses God's truth, squanders God's blessings and forgets God's goodness.
Humanity in sin is well and truly lost but thank God we have a Father who ensures that the lost are well and truly found.
At advent God's promised Comfort is brought to our mind again. Jesus is the Messiah who brings and gives comfort.
Without seeing who Christ is, we cannot see ourselves or our world clearly.
The crucified, risen, exalted Christ turns the world upside down as his Word is proclaimed to the nations.
The exalted Lord Jesus is working amongst the nations to free those willingly enslaved in Satan's grasp, that we might belong to him and so become like him.
