A sure sign that some have missed grace is they ask Jesus to do what he’s already done. “Oh Lord, come down.” He already did. “Have mercy on us.” “Make us holy.” “Come and cleanse us. Oh God “Bind the strong man.” for me.
Or they beg God to do what he never would do. “Lord, don’t leave us.” He said he wouldn’t. “You give and take away.” No, he doesn’t.
The language of longing is the language of the old covenant. Good news: The wait is over. Christ has come! In him you are home. Everything you need for life and godliness has been provided.
So change our tune and learn the new song of the new creation. It’s a song of praise and thanksgiving (Psalm 34:1, Hebrews 13:15).
