Do you have a basis for pride? What is your source of that pride? Paul reminds us that our one, true, and dependable source of boasting is boasting in what the Lord has done for us on the cross and through his resurrection. This one source of boasting has absolutely nothing to do with anything that we have done, attained, or accomplished on our own. All other reasons to boast are fleeting glimpses at hollow fame compared to the joy and assurance of sharing in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. May our boast be in the Lord and his sacrificial triumph through the cross!
Video Commentary...
We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:
Forgive me, O Abba Father, for the times I have thought myself important because of some transitory accomplishment. Thank you for giving me a bedrock source of boasting in Jesus' love and Jesus' grace demonstrated in the Cross. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
