A true peacemaker longs for peace, prays for peace, works for peace, and sacrifices for peace, but the realization of peace may never come.
David Brainerd rightly rises to the praiseworthy commendations of some of the greatest pastors and theologians of the last three hundred years. Certainly a man of clay feet, he, neverthless, lived his life desirous of being fully devoted to his Maker. I am sure that none of us have met anyone so wholly given to seeking to live his or her life for the glory of God and the good of the souls of men like David Brainerd.
Life is found in repentance. Regret produces death. Seeing the difference between the two can help us better understand the grace of the Gospel and receive the salvation offered by Jesus Christ.
Our children need the word of God. They need to know who God is and what he has done. They need his wisdom to shape their heart and choices. They need to know who they are and what God calls them to do. They need to know where to turn in times of trial and suffering. They need an anchor for their souls.
The incarnation, sufferings, and glory of our Lord do not give us warrant to reinterpret the Old Testament. There’s no need for us to do so. These acts of God, in the Mediator, were predicted before the incarnation. The incarnation does not make ancient scriptural texts into something they were not prior to the incarnation.
