Christ Was Sacrificed to Take Away the Sins of Many

Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. — Hebrews 9:28 

Jesus paid the price for my sin.

He was sacrificed once to take away my sins.

And the sins of all.

And He will come back again in glory.

Not to bear our sin, but to bring salvation.

And to offer it to all those who are waiting for Him.

Praise the Lord!

Christ Was Sacrificed Once

So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.  — Hebrews 9:28 

Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many.

By his stripes we are healed.

He will appear again in glory.

This time He won't be coming to bear our sin - He already did that on the cross.

So when he comes again, He will bring salvation to those of us who are waiting for Him.

Jesus, our Lord.

Christ Will Appear

After Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation. — Hebrews 9:28

Christ offered himself as a sacrifice in my place.

He bore my sins and the sins of everyone.

And He will come again.

The first time He came to bear our sin on His shoulders.

The next time He comes, he will bring salvation.

He is our hope and our life.

Your Light Will Break Forth

 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear. — Isaiah 58:8

On Friday, Abby had an interview for a job with Pt. Loma Nazarene University.

Today she did a PowerPoint presentation for some additional people there.

And then they offered her the job!

She will be an Enrollment Counselor for Graduate and Professional Studies.

She picks up her computer tomorrow and starts her training on Monday.

For now she will only go to the campus once or twice a week.

She will work remotely the rest of the time.

Best of all, she will be working at the Mission Valley campus, just 15 minutes from our house!

Her hard work has paid off.

To God be the glory.

Your Light Will Break Forth Like the Dawn

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. — Isaiah 58:8

Today I had lunch with the Director of Planned Giving for my alma mater.

Randolph-Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia.

She was out here on vacation and also spent time visiting a few of us.

It was great to hear about the things happening back at the college.

Students will be back in person this fall.

Back in the spring they were in a hybrid model, with some learning from home and others on campus.

Last fall they were all online, learning from home.

My friend Phebe Westcott is retiring as alumnae director for the college.

This is her last week at Randolph.

They only got about 7-8 applicants for the job.

And none of them were alumns, so they are continuing to advertise the position.

God tells us that His glory will be our rear guard.

His light will break forth through us, like the dawn.
