Just Thinking...

This morning, I'm sitting in a coffee shop in Sanford across from the "train depot" with my son. He is working on school work while I study and prepare to begin a series of messages that will take our church through the daunting book of Hebrews, which will take several months--probably a couple of years, actually.

In the last few days, I have been pondering just how awesome Jesus is and all that he is "for us". This has been so much on my mind that I was actually pumped up to cut my grass yesterday while listening to worship music. This was nothing more than the work of the Holy Spirit in my heart because I HATE cutting grass. Even though, it was a sweet time of worship--it blew me away...

Even during Wednesday night bible study this week, I sensed my emotions rising up in me as we studied Exodus 24 and the reality that the elders of Israel and Moses and Aaron and Nadab and Abihu "saw the God of Israel" and they "ate and drank in His presence". Dude, that is awesome! And, I think about how much closer and sweeter the fellowship is because Jesus has come and He has passed through the heavens as our great High Priest and ever lives to make intercession for us...WOW!
